What is the process?

​

Deodorization is the process whereby the vegetable oil is heated under vacuum and then steam is passed through it to remove volatile components.  Because this is a physical process, it is suitable for organic as well as conventional vegetable oils and can be used safely.

​

The process:

• Reduces the impurities in the vegetable oil which cause unwanted odors, and flavours.

• Removes some of the color

• Destroys peroxides

• Removes free fatty acids

• Inhibits the polymerization reaction

• Minimises formation of trans fatty acids

​

The result is clear, light-coloured vegetable oil which is neutral in flavor and odor.

​

Deodorization is a key production step in the production of any high quality refined oil.

​

The Mini Deodorizer from the International Food Science Centre A/S is a versatile self-contained unit which is well suited to the small scale production of speciality vegetable oils, especially those with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

​

All the equipment is mounted on a single base which can easily be moved using a forklift truck or pallet trolley.

​

We can do toll refining of specialty organic vegetable oils and butters, retaining their active components. All refined vegetable oils are delivered back to the customer with nitrogen covering.
