What are the featured advantages of palm oil refining process?

The purpose of palm oil refining is to remove unnecessary impurities in crude oil through technical means, change the color and flavor, so as to reach a certain standard and ensure the health of palm oil. The palm oil refining process has two types: chemical refining and physical refining. The main difference is in the deacidification section, where chemical deacidification removes the acid from the oil through acid-base neutralization. Physical deacidification, the extraction of free fatty acids from palm oil by high-temperature evaporation. Following are the advantages of palm oil refining process.

Refined palm oil

Advantage one: Extend the storage time of palm oil

Impurities in oils can adversely affect the quality and storage of edible oils. Insoluble solid impurities and colloidal substances will cause oil to deteriorate, free fatty acids will affect the taste of oil and accelerate the degradation of oil quality. We can extract free fatty acids from palm oil by high temperature evaporation to enhance the storage stability of palm oil.

Advantage two: Improves the flavor and color of palm oil

Refined palm oil is much better than unrefined palm oil in terms of taste and color, which greatly improves the quality of palm oil and thus can earn higher profits.

Advantage three: Provide raw materials for palm oil deep processing products

At the same time, by-products such as soap stock solution and fatty acid produced in the refining process can be used to produce soap and other products, and more profits can be obtained by using these products.

Palm oil refining process

The palm oil refining process is divided into 3 types, which are batch refining, semi-continuous refining and full continuous refining. The main equipment used are refining pots, filters, heat conduction oil pans, coolers, steam boiler systems, etc. Henan Glory Oil & Fats Engineering CO.,LTD has rich project experience and a professional engineer team, which can provide you with reasonable suggestions and high-quality palm oil refining equipment according to the budget and needs of customers.
