aceite vegetal hidrotratado; aceite vegetal hidrogenado; hidrobiodiésel; HVO: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "aceite vegetal hidrotratado" es la traducción de la expresión inglesa "hydrotreated vegetable oil", frecuentemente citada por su sigla "HVO". [...] Además, y de acuerdo concretamente con la legislación española, no es incorrecto incluirlo dentro de los llamados "biocarburantes" o "biocombustibles", por lo que tanto [...] denominaciones como ["aceite vegetal hidrogenado" e] "hidrobiodiésel" son apropiadas, pero menos específicas [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - aceite%20vegetal%20hidrotratado

What is a hydrogenated vegetable oil? Vegetable oils, as the name implies, are liquid at room temperature. To make them suitable for use in margarines and shortenings, they are hydrogenated, i.e. treated with hydrogen, to solidify them. The hydrogenation process makes them more saturated. 1, record 2, English, - hydrogenated%20vegetable%20oil
