Can a nonporous membrane be used for degumming and decolorizing crude rice bran oil?
Efficacy of nonporous membrane has been evaluated for simultaneous degumming, decolorizing and dewaxing crude rice bran oil (CRBO). Membrane processing of CRBO showed that phospholipids (PL) were almost completely rejected (>99%) by nonporous membranes in both industrial and laboratory-prepared samples.
What is vegetable oil degumming process?
The vegetable oil degumming process plays a critical role in refining edible oil. Phospholipids ( PL) removal from crude extracted soybean oil ( SBO) by the enzymatic degumming process has been investigated in this work.
What is rice bran oil?
Rice bran oil (RBO) is unique among edible vegetable oils because of its unique fatty acid composition, phenolic compound (¦Ã-oryzanol, ferulic acid) and vitamin E (tocopherol and tocotrienol). It has become a great choice of cooking oil because of its very high burning point, neutral taste and delicate flavour.
Can meuf be used for simultaneous degumming & dewaxing of soybean & rapeseed oils?
Iwama have shown that MEUF could be actually employed for simultaneous degumming and dewaxing of soybean and rapeseed oils without any additives. However, the efficiency of rejection of color compounds by the ultrafiltration membranes was not consistent and varied between membranes and between oils .
