FAST FOOD

History of Fast Food• Nobel laureate Paul Sabatier worked in the 1890s to

develop the chemistry of hydrogenation which enabled the margarine, oil hydrogenation, and synthetic methanol industries. While Sabatier only considered hydrogenation of vapours, the German chemist Wilhelm Normann showed in 1901 that liquid oils could be hydrogenated and patented the process in 1902.

FAST fOOD• In 1909, Procter & Gamble acquired the US rights to

the Normann patent; in 1911, they began marketing the first hydrogenated shortening, Crisco (composed largely of partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil).

• Further success came from the marketing technique of giving away free cookbooks in which every recipe called for Crisco. Hydrogenation strongly stimulated whaling, as it made it possible to stabilize whale oil for human consumption.
