  • How to refine sunflower oil?
  • Physical refining of sunflower oil is discussed in details. Recent developments in the field of processes, equipment and control have made possible to refine by physical way the high phosphatide containing seed oils as well.
  • What happens in a sunflower oil refinery?
  • The extracted sunflower oil is still crude. What happens in an oil refinery is an important part of how sunflower oil is made suitable for human consumption. Oil refining is a multi-stage process, with the steps involved varying greatly based on the oil in question.
  • What is the difference between physical and chemical refining of sunflower oil?
  • Tocopherol loss during physical refining was higher by 10% than in chemical refining due to the high temperatures used during the deodorization process, which removes free fatty acids in sunflower oil. In chemical refining process, sunflower oil retained more tocopherols compared to the physical refining method.
  • What are the advantages of Physical refining of sunflower oil?
  • Physical refining has several advantages compared to the classical chemical one. This process is more economical (improved yield, lower investment cost, less chemicals used) environmental friendly process (no soapstock to be treated, splitted) but more sensitive to the crude oil quality. Physical refining of sunflower oil is discussed in details.
  • What is a sunflower oil refining unit?
  • An experimental oil refining unit has been developed for minimal refining of sunflower oil. The unit consists of (i) one open mild steel tank with conical bottom for degumming/neutralization, (ii) one closed oval tank for vacu-um drying/bleaching and (iii) one filter for filtration of oil.
  • Does sunflower oil retain more tocopherols in chemical refining process?
  • In chemical refining process, sunflower oil retained more tocopherols compared to the physical refining method. However chemical refining is considered less efficient due to saponification of neutral oil. 1. Introduction Vegetable oils are obtained through two primary methods: pressing and extraction.
