EDIBLE OIL PRODUCTION PLANTS
Edible oil production plants will be designed specifically according to characteristics of raw materials to be used in production. Impurities contained in the raw material used directly affect properties of machines to be used in the cleaning system.
The first step in the production of edible oil is milling and screening. After this stage, the main cleaning process is carried out, and extraction is done to obtain oil. Impurities in obtained crude oil are removed by the refining process.
The machines to be used in all of these stages are determined according to many parameters such as capacity, raw material, desired end product quality, facility layout plan.
WHAT IS EDIBLE OIL?
Edible Oil is obtained from different plants and seeds such as soybeans, sunflower, cottonseed, olive, mustard seeds,. Crude oils contain many impurities (phospholipids, resins, trace metals, free fatty acids, color and odorous substances etc.). These impurities affect the quality, taste, and appearance of oil. Consumers prefer oils that light-colored, clear, odorless and without free oil acid. Therefore, impurities in crude oil must be removed carefully.
APPLICATIONS
Edible oil is often used in home cooking, soap and industrial food manufacturing worldwide and also it is the basic source of unsaturated fats and vitamin E in human diets. Also, edible oil is used in many areas such as biodiesel with the development of technology.
