Pretreatment
This process includes cleaning the seeds
using magnet, screen or aspirator system.
Peeling the seeds using a corrugated roll
mill or a ball mill, the skin is separated
from the seeds by screening and air
clarification.
Extraction of oils and fats
Extraction methods:
◦ Rendering to extract fats, bones, whale
oils, fresh coconut palm oils.
◦ The fatty tissues are chopped into small pieces
and boiled in steam digesters. The fat is
gradually liberated from the cells and floats to
the surface of the water, where it is collected
by skimming.
◦ Mechanical Pressing
◦ Solvent Extraction
Pressing oils and fats
General sequences :
◦ Preparation of the seed to remove stray bits of metals
and impurity removal
◦ Size reduction by grinding
◦ Cooking and pressing in hydraulic or screw presses
Solvent Extraction
Extraction on cake (residual cake, containt 3-
15% of oils) using solvent
Solvent for edible oil : hexane or heptane,
(petroleum ethers), TD 63,3 – 68,9°C).
Refining (Degumming )
Degumming mainly reduces the phosphatides and
metal content of the crude oil by mixing it with an acid
and water.
The phosphatides are present in free hydratable form
(HP) or in nonhydratable form (NHP), mostly in
combination with some Ca++, Mg++, or Fe++.
Degumming consists of treating the oil with 0.05%
concentrated phosphoric acid and water.
The enzymatic degumming process, can be done by
removing the fatty acid on the C-2 position of the
glycerol, using a phospholipase A2 enzyme as
biocatalyst.
Refining (Neutralization)
In the degumming process, the remaining NHP
in the oil after acid treatment, and the free fatty
acids formed during the hydrolysis (lipolysis) of
the HP, are further removed by neutralization.
The oil is treated with an excess of 0,1% caustic
soda solution and heated to about 75°C to break
any emulsions formed.
The emulsion is separated with centrifuge or
settling tank.

Bleaching
The refined oils are usually dark because of
some impurity such as pigment (chlorophyll or
carotenoids), phospholipid, metal, etc.
Bleaching can reduces the color by absorbing
these colorants on bleaching earth (bentonite
clay) (0,1-2%) or activated charcoal, or both
BLEACHING :
Flow sheet of a double batch bleaching
process with acid pretreatment
Two-stage counter-current bleaching with
prefiltration
Deodorization
Most fats and oils, have characteristic odors
owing to the presence of 0.2-0.5% of impurities
Deodorization is conducted at a temperature
between 220-260 oC, at a pressure between 2-4
mbar, and under injection of 0,5-3% of steam in a
stainless steel vessel.

Process
Winterization
The process to remove certain components
that solidify at low temperatures.
Performed by cooling oils at temperatures
of 5oC and filter the solid component.
Generally done for sunflower oils, olive,
rice bran, and partially hydrogenated
soybean oils.
