Mechanically pressed crude sunflower oil was obtained from a local oil mill. The crude oil was kept in tin container away from the light, high temperature and oxygen to avoid auto oxidation. The oil was refined in the developed experimental unit as per the process flow diagramme shown in Fig. 1.
What is the chemical refining process of sunflower oil?
Chemical refining process starts with crude oil and is treated for degumming and neutralization, which is followed by bleaching the oil and last it goes through winterizing and deodorizing stages . The detailed process of sunflower oil from its crude oil has been described in Fig. 1.
What is a sunflower oil refining unit?
An experimental oil refining unit has been developed for minimal refining of sunflower oil. The unit consists of (i) one open mild steel tank with conical bottom for degumming/neutralization, (ii) one closed oval tank for vacuum drying/bleaching and (iii) one filter for filtration of oil.
What is cold pressed sunflower oil (CPSO)?
Cold pressed sunflower oils (CPSO), in addition to their production process, have specific composition, quality, nutritive value, oxidative stability, and shelf life.
