The undesirable flavor reversion properties of soybean oils may be counteracted by selective hydrogenation of the linolenate components. Screening of catalysts for this purpose was accomplished by a standardized laboratory hydrogenation of a refined, bleached soybean oil under atmospheric pressure. A mathematical derivation utilizes analytical chromatographic data to determine linolenate/linoleate reaction rates as a selectivity index S L for a given catalyst.
