• Is Physical refining better than chemical refining for vegetable oil?
  • The effects of process conditions on standard quality parameters and the nutritional quality of the oil are well documented in the literature [5, 19, 71, 72]. In conclusion, physical refining offers great several advantages over chemical refining for vegetable oils (Table 2).
  • What is vegetable oil refining?
  • As vegetable oil is an important component of the human diet, the source and the processing play an important role in consumer acceptability. To remove impurities that affect the color, palatability, stability, and safety of oil, crude vegetable oil must be refined. This review highlights the processes and steps used in vegetable oil refining.
  • What is chemical refining of oil?
  • Chemical Refining of Oil Chemical refining is the traditional method used since ancient times. It can be used for all fats and oils even when they have been slightly degraded. Each step of the refining process has specific functions for removing some undesirable compounds.
  • Why is degumming important in vegetable oil refining?
  • Degumming is a crucial step in the refining process of vegetable oils . It allows the elimination of ¡°gums¡± or ¡°mucilage,¡± composed mainly of phospholipids from the crude oil as well as compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, and trace of metals [9, 34]. Phospholipids or phosphatides are naturally present in oils.
  • 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.
