Vegetable Oil Refining
Transforming Crude Oils into Safe, High-Quality Edible Oils
Vegetable oil refining is a crucial process that removes impurities such as free fatty acids (FFA), gums, sediments, and colorants, while preserving essential nutrients and natural composition. At Agroprocess Oil Tech Solutions, we specialize in advanced refining plants that combine precision engineering, controlled processing, and eco-friendly technologies to deliver premium, food-grade oils.
Key Stages in Vegetable Oil Refining
The refining process is designed to purify crude vegetable oils, ensuring superior clarity, stability, and shelf life. Our advanced systems use efficient Longmix continuous processes under strict temperature and vacuum controls.
Degumming
Removes gums and phosphatides with phosphoric acid under controlled conditions, improving oil clarity and stability.
Neutralization (Alkali Refining)
Free fatty acids (FFA) are reduced with caustic soda, and separation is performed using high-speed centrifuges for precise purification.
Washing & Drying
Residual soaps and moisture are washed out and removed under vacuum, producing clean and stable refined oil.
Bleaching
Unwanted pigments, trace metals, and oxidation products are absorbed using bleaching earth or activated carbon, enhancing oil color and stability.
Deodorization
Steam distillation under vacuum removes odors, flavor compounds, and volatile impurities, ensuring neutral taste and extended shelf life.
Winterization
Waxes and high-melting triglycerides are removed to ensure oils remain crystal clear even at low temperatures.
Filtration
Removes suspended particles, bleaching earth residues, and other impurities to ensure oil purity and prevent downstream contamination.
Polishing & Final Quality Control
Final step to ensure refined oil meets food-grade standards through fine filtration, polishing, and monitoring of clarity, color, and stability.
