Fractionated means that a substance is split up into its component parts. Hydrogenated means that the component parts of a substance are bonded together with a molecule of hydrogen. So they're sort of opposite reactions.
Although I couldn't find any references that fractionated oils contain trans fats, bottom line is that it's still a highly processed synthetic product. Probably best used in moderation.
