The main steps in palm oil refining include degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization.

Degumming is the process of removing colloidal impurities in the crude oil by adding hot water or phosphoric acid to the crude oil .

Deacidification is the removal of free fatty acids from crude oil. This is one of the most critical stage in the entire RBD palm oil refining process. That is, using alkali to neutralize free fatty acid, so that free fatty acid produces saponin and separates out from oil.

When the oil is added to more than 100 degrees, the steam will take away all kinds of flavor.deodorization can not only remove the odorous substances in the crude oil, increase the smoke point of the oil, improve the flavor of the oil, but also effectively remove impurities.
