An experimental oil refining unit has been developed and tested for refining of sunflower oil. Crude pressed sunflower oil obtained from a local oil mill was refined using chemical method by degumming, neutralization, bleaching and dewaxing. The quality and composition of crude and refined oil were compared.
What is the purpose of Refining sunflower oil?
… purpose of refining sunflower oil is to convert the crude oil, which has a high acidity level and/or organoleptic defects, to make it suitable for human consumption. The refin- ing is also aimed at removing contaminants as pesticides and process solvents.
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.
Are sunflower seeds oil-bearing?
Some oil-bearing plants have a higher oil content, especially sunflower seeds, with an oil content of 45 to 60% and UFA content of more than 90%, which is prone to heat, mildew, oil rancidity, and deterioration during storage ( Mangin et al., 2017 ).
