In the fats and oils industry, deacidification of oils is important not only for consumer
acceptance, but also because it has the maximum economic impact on production …

The refining of edible oils requires a series of purification steps, with the most important
being the decrease of the free fatty acid level of the crude oil. This step is very important for …

Physical refining of rice bran oil (RBO) with acidity between 4.0 and 12.4% has been
investigated in relation to degumming and dewaxing pretretments. It appears that physical …

Autocatalytic esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) in rice bran oil (RBO) containing high FFA
(9.5 to 35.0% w/w) was examined at a high temperature (210° C) and under low pressure …

Due to the high oil content of the seeds, Jatropha curcas L. became a focus of interest in the
last decades. In order to prepare the oil for technical applications a refining is essential. This …

The purpose of this study was to investigate enzymatic and autocatalytic esterification of FFA
in rice bran oil (RBO), palm oil (PO), and palm kernel oil (PKO), using MG and DG as …

Jatropha curcas L. crude oil has variable and often high free fatty acid content. As free fatty
acids are corrosive, the crude oil has to be refined prior to its utilization in technical …

Every edible oil industry strives to produce flavor-neutral, light-colored, and physically and
oxidatively stable oil, thereby meeting consumer acceptance and industry standards. Due to …
