• Commonly y consists of desirable triglycerides,

unsaponifiable matter together with small amount of
impurities.
• Impurities contribute undesirable effects to the oil,
for instance color, flavor, odor, instability and
foaming.
• Should be removed by a purification step in order to
produce good quality of refined oil with minimal
possible oil loss or damage to the oil and desirable
materials such as tocopherols and carotenes.

-Degumming of CPO
• Crude oils contain complex organo-phosphorus compounds
referred to as phospholipids (phosphatides) or more usually, as
gums.
• Phospholipids should be removed because of their strong
emulsifying action and if they are not removed, the oil will went
through undue darkening during deodorization at high
temperature
• Th
The phospholipids
h h li id ((phosphatides)
h h tid ) are removed ddduring

i
by a variety of treatments collectively referred to as degumming.
• The treatment usually involves hydration with water,
orthophosphoric acid, and polybasic organic acids either singly or
in combination, followed by centrifuging the precipitated material
or by its adsorption on bleaching earth or filter.

-Bleaching of CPO
• Treatment that is given to remove color producing substances and to further
purify the fat or oil.
• The usual method of bleaching is by adsorption of the color producing
substances on an adsorbent material.
• There a lot of adsorbent materials are being used in vegetable oil industry
for examples; acid activated bleaching earth, natural bleaching earth,
activated carbon and synthetic silicates.
• Acid activated bleaching earth (fuller’s earth) or clay, sometimes called
b t it iis th
bentonite, the adsorbent
d b t material
t i l th
thatt h
has b
been used d mostt extensively.
t i l
• This substance consists primarily of hydrated aluminum silicate. Usually,
bleaching earth does not remove all the color producing materials, much of
which are actually removed by thermal destruction during the deodorization
process.
• Activated carbon is also used as a bleaching adsorbent to a limited extent.

the purpose of removing undesirable flavors and odors,
mostly arising from oxidation, in fats and oils.
• Using steam under reduced pressure the volatile
compounds are removed from fats and oils.
• Typical
yp conditions approximate
pp 250oC at 2.0 mm absolute
pressure for 1-4 hr with strong steam sparging.
• The deodorization utilizes the differences in volatility
between off-flavor and off-odor substances and the
triglycerides.
