Deodorization For Edible Oil Refinery

With the years of experience and vast knowledge, we are involved in manufacturing, supplying and exporting a wide range of Deodorization for Edible Oil Refinery in Palanpur, Gujarat, India. Deodorization is primarily a high-temperature, high-vacuum, steam-distillation process. To produce a high-quality finished product, each deodorizer installation must deaerate the oil, heat the oil, steam strip the oil, and cool the oil all with zero exposure to air.

Deodorization increases the oila s flavor and oxidative stability by nearly complete removal of free fatty acids (FFA) and other volatile odor and flavor materials, by partial removal of tocopherols, and by thermal destruction of peroxides. The thermal treatment that is a necessary part of the deodorization process also heat bleaches the oil by destruction of the carotenoids that are unstable at deodorization temperature.

Steam deodorization is feasible because the flavor and odor compounds that are to be removed have appreciably greater volatility than do triglycerides .operation at high temperature increases the volatility of these odoriferous compounds; and the introduction of stripping steam into the deodorizer greatly increases the rate at which these compound are volatilized. Reduced pressure operation further aids in removal of the odoriferous compound and protects the oil from atmospheric oxidation.
