Hazelnut Oil Refining
Purifying Premium Hazelnut Oil for Superior Quality and Performance
Hazelnut oil is a premium edible oil, prized for its rich flavor, nutritional benefits, and natural stability. To ensure purity, long shelf life, and consistent quality, crude hazelnut oil undergoes refining to remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, waxes, pigments, and odors. At Agroprocess Oil Tech Solutions, we specialize in delivering world-class refining equipment and advanced technologies that produce high-quality refined hazelnut oil, ideal for culinary, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Key Stages in Hazelnut Oil Refining
The key stages in hazelnut oil refining are designed to improve oil purity, clarity, flavor, and stability while ensuring efficient, sustainable, and eco-friendly production.
Degumming & Neutralization
Removes gums, phospholipids, and free fatty acids by acid and alkali treatment, producing neutralized oil with improved stability and extended shelf life.
Bleaching
The oil is filtered through bleaching earth or activated carbon to remove pigments, oxidation products, and trace impurities, resulting in a bright and clear appearance.
Winterization
When required for products like salad dressings, the oil is cooled and crystallized to remove waxes and high-melting triglycerides, ensuring clarity even at low temperatures.
Deodorization
Uses high-temperature steam under vacuum to remove residual free fatty acids, volatile compounds, and odor-causing molecules, delivering neutral, odorless, and long-lasting refined hazelnut oil.
Phosphoric Acid Degumming
Adds phosphoric acid to effectively remove non-hydratable phospholipids and other residual gums that are difficult to eliminate by water degumming alone, improving oil clarity and processing efficiency.
Alkali Refining
Uses caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) to chemically neutralize free fatty acids by converting them into soapstock, which is then separated, resulting in higher-purity refined oil and reduced corrosive impact on equipment.
Filter Pressing
Applies pressure to separate spent bleaching earth, residual moisture, and fine particles from the oil after bleaching, producing a clear, sediment-free oil ready for deodorization.
Polishing
Final step involving fine filtration to remove microscopic impurities and remaining trace particles, ensuring maximum clarity, brightness, and extended shelf life of the refined hazelnut oil.
