A survey of commercial hydrogenation catalysts demonstrated the higher selectivity (S L = 2.4\s‐2.7) of certain platinum, palladium and rhodium catalysts for hydrogenating linolenic components in soybean oil. Nickel catalysts generally showed selectivities below S L =2.0 although skeletal nickel achieved higher values. Trans ‐isomers were in the range 7.8\s‐15.4% for the above noble metal catalysts. Nickel catalysts provide a lesser degree of isomerization, 5.2\s‐7.4% of trans ‐isomers for the most selective catalysts.
