  • Which industrial technologies are used for vegetable oils' refining?
  • The present review aimed at comparing the two main industrial technologies used for vegetable oils¡¯ refining, namely, chemical refining and physical refining. Chemical refining removes free fatty acids by soda neutralization.
  • How is corn oil made?
  • The germs, containing about 85 percent of corn's oil, are pumped onto screens and washed repeatedly to remove any starch left in the mixture. A combination of mechanical and solvent processes extracts the oil from the germ. The oil is then refined and filtered into finished corn oil.
  • What is a corn refining process?
  • It is the goal of the corn refining process to separate each component and then further refine it into specific products. Corn arrives at the refining facility by truck, barge or railcar. Refinery staff inspect arriving corn shipments and clean them twice to remove pieces of cob, dust, chaff, and foreign materials.
  • Why is degumming important in vegetable oil refining?
  • Degumming is a crucial step in the refining process of vegetable oils [ 9 ]. It allows the elimination of ¡°gums¡± or ¡°mucilage,¡± composed mainly of phospholipids from the crude oil as well as compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, and trace of metals [ 9, 34 ]. Phospholipids or phosphatides are naturally present in oils.
  • What is the final step in the Physical refining of oil?
  • The final step in the physical refining of oils is deacidification and deodorization. Oils are deodorized under the conditions described above for chemical refining. Removal of volatile components such as free fatty acids, different off-flavors, contaminants (pesticides, light polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.).
  • How does refining affect the stability of refined edible oils?
  • This directly influences the stability of refined edible oils. Efficient refining processes should be developed for crude oils to remove undesirable compounds while doing the least possible damage to the interesting components at the same time and not generating higher levels of unwanted compounds.
