Edible oil filtration
Soybean oil, peanut oil and sesame oil are bulk oils, ad their fatty acid compositions are mainly oleic acid and linoleic acid, and they are the main edible oils for human beings. Generally, the free fatty acid content is less than 1%, and the quality of ordinary edible oil can be achieved after rough refining. However, it still contains a very small amount of impurities, and the impact of following impurities cannot be neglected.
Suspended impurities: sediment, embryo powder, cake residue, moisture;
Peptide impurities: phospholipids, proteins, sugars and low-level decomposition products,
Fat-soluble impurities: free fatty acids, diol, tocopherol, pigments, fatty alcohols, waxes;
Other impurities: toxins, pesticides.
Main filter process: In the edible oil refining process, a lot of activated carbon is used, acetone and clay are used as filter aids, decolorization, deodorization and precipitations, etc. These substances will inevitably flow into the downstream oil products. The high-efficiency filter bag has a filtration accuracy of 0.5 microns, which can collect these fine particles.
