• What is conventional deodorization for refining vegetable oil?
  • Conventional deodorization for refining vegetable oil involves evaporating volatile molecules by applying high temperatures (240¨C260 ¡ãC) for 2¨C3 h. It inevitably leads to a degradation of the refined oil quality. The chief volatile compounds from the conventional deodorization process were hydrocarbons, which are not the odor source of the oil.
  • How oil is Deodorized for chemical refining?
  • Oils are deodorized under the conditions described above for chemical refining. The deodorization process has three main objectives: Removal of volatile components such as free fatty acids, different off-flavors, contaminants (pesticides, light polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.).
  • How does edible oil refining reduce production costs?
  • In edible oil refining, the continuous effort to reduce overall production costs is mainly achieved by increasing plant capacities, installation of mono feedstock plants, and increasing the degree of automation. Over the years, more energy-efficient processes and technologies, resulting in a higher refined oil yield, have gradually been introduced.
  • Can edible oil-based nanomaterials be used in industrial applications?
  • Before realizing the industrial application of vegetable oils, the abovementioned problems need to be solved in a timely and effective manner. In addition, the preparation of edible oil-based nanomaterials and their synergy with other active ingredients are a focus of future research.
  • Are vegetable edible oils authentic?
  • Authenticity identification methods of vegetable edible oils were compared and analyzed. Cooking and digestive process can significantly affect quality of edible vegetable oils. Vegetable edible oils from oil crops exhibited the bright application prospects. With the increase in the world population, the demand for edible oils is increasing.
  • Why is oil refining important?
  • In addition, the refining process of oil is also continuously optimized to meet the requirements of consumers for higher levels of oil quality . It is worth noting that in order to increase their profits, many businesses adulterate vegetable edible oils, which greatly harms the health of consumers .
