Refining technologies for edible oils

Abstract

Every edible oil industry strives to produce avor-neutral, light-colored, and physically and oxidatively stable oil, thereby meeting consumer acceptance and industry standards. Crude edible oils do not meet these criteria as they often contain a large amount of non-glyceride compounds, olive oil being the exception though. These numerous non-glycerides are removed through operations collectively known as refining. © 2017 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
