  • 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.
  • Why is refining important?
  • In general, refining is a necessary process to ensure the quality of edible oils. It is very important to remove unnecessary components while retaining the important components of the oils. However, the refining process may cause oxidation of the oils and produce unfavourable degradation products, which may affect the quality of the oils.
  • What processes are used for isolating and modifying edible oils and fats?
  • The processes used for isolating and modifying these oils and fats are reviewed including the enzymatic glycerolysis of vegetable oils to create fats. The importance of the refining process to purify oils and the effects of refining oils are presented. introduce the chemistry, extraction, and refining of edible fats and oils.
  • Why does crude oil need to be refined?
  • Crude oil extracted from vegetable and fish sources contain mono-, di-, triacylglycerols along with impurities, which necessitates refining. The main objective of refining is to remove the contaminants that adversely affect the quality of oil, thereby reducing the shelf life and consumer acceptance.
