• What is a neutralization system for edible oil?
  • Systems for neutralization process of edible oil to remove free fatty acids and other impurities that impact edible oil quality, consistency, appearance, taste and shelf life.
  • What is edible oil refining?
  • Edible oil refining is the process of converting raw vegetable oil into edible oil. Raw vegetable oils, whether obtained through pressing or solvent extraction, contain unwanted components such as free fatty acids, phospholipids, and others, which cause undesirable flavors, odors, and appearances.
  • What is oil neutralization?
  • Oil neutralization, also known as deacidification, is a step in the edible oil refining process. It neutralizes fatty free acids in the oil using caustic soda. The resulting soaps are easily removed by decantation or centrifugal force.
  • What is a neutralization process in chemical refining?
  • In chemical refining, an alkali is used to neutralize the FFA and to remove the oil acidity. The main purpose of Neutralization Process is to saponify the FFA by an alkaline solution and dilute the resulting soaps in a water phase. In the edible oil industry mostly caustic soda is used for the treatment with FFA¡¯s.
  • What is neutralization in vegetable oil refining?
  • Neutralization or simply Neutralizing is the second process in the vegetable oil refining which commences after degumming completion. The feedstock is taken into the Neutralizers where the heating temperature range is kept at 55 C to 70 C depending on the quality of crude oil. The oil is under constant agitation to maintain the uniformity.
  • Why is precision important in edible oil refining?
  • In the edible oil refining industry, precision is paramount. Just as a maestro has an orchestra of instruments, this process utilizes a suite of specialized machines, each playing its vital role to guarantee that the resulting oil is of premium quality.
