introduction

In today's society, as consumers' demands for health and nutrition continue to increase, vegetable oil refining technology is particularly important. However, many vegetable oil products still have impurities, odors and safety hazards when they leave the factory, which poses a potential risk to consumers' health. Therefore, developing efficient and environmentally friendly vegetable oil refining technology has become an important task for the industry.

question

The traditional vegetable oil production process is often accompanied by impurities in the oil, such as:

• High acid value and aflatoxin pollution
• Pigments and impurities affect oil quality
• Odors interfere with consumer experience

Solution: Vegetable oil refining technology

Vegetable oil refining technology is to process oils and fats through a series of physical and chemical methods to improve their quality and safety. It mainly includes:

• Degumming: Remove the colloid in the oil to ensure the clarity and transparency of the oil and improve its storage stability.
• Deacidification: Reduce the acid value of oils and fats, reduce the free fatty acid content through chemical reactions, and ensure the taste and nutritional content of the oil.
• Decolorization: Removal of pigments through adsorbents to improve the appearance and market appeal of edible oils.
• Deodorization: Steam and vacuum processes are used to remove odors, ensuring that the aroma of the oil meets consumer preferences.

The application of these technologies effectively improves the edible safety and flavor of vegetable oils, meeting the market's growing demand for health and nutrition.

Potential for sustainable development

The innovation of vegetable oil refining technology is not limited to the improvement of safety and quality, but also shows the potential for sustainable development in terms of environmental protection and resource utilization. For example, the use of efficient energy utilization equipment and pollution-free production processes can reduce resource waste in the production process.
