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.
How does Alfa Laval refine crude oil into edible oil?
Refining crude oil into edible oil requires deep process knowledge¡ªfrom degumming, neutralization and dewaxing through to bleaching, deodorizing and GE and 3-MCPD mitigation. Edible oil producers worldwide rely on Alfa Laval know-how to remove impurities and volatile components and optimize refining processes.
Which edible oil plant has the highest oil content?
Oil-seed camellia, oil palm, olive, and coconut ( Cocos nucifera) are the four well-known woody edible oil plants in the world, as they possess a high oil content. Among bulk herbaceous edible oils, the unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) are the highest, approaching 80%, in peanut oil and rapeseed oil.
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.
