REFİNİNG OF CRUDE OİL

Crude oils as received from the extraction plant contain several non-triglyceride components which must be removed.

Refining consists of several processes which accomplish this aim.

REFİNİNG OF CRUDE OİL

• A refining process is carried out following extraction of crude edible oils by means of screw presses and/or solvent extraction.

• In refining, physical and chemical processes are combined to remove undesirable natural as well as environmental-related components from the crude oil.

REFİNİNG OF CRUDE OİL

Depending on the requirements, the following basic processes are implemented:• degumming for removal of phosphatides, • neutralization for removal of free fatty acids, • bleaching for removal of color, • deodorization to distill odors and flavors as well

as free fatty acids and • winterization for separation of waxes.

Hydrogenation

Definition : To treat oil with H2 and catalyst to decrease double bonds and increase saturated bonds.

Reaction ResultSaturation of double bondsMigration of double bondsTrans-fatty acid formation

Advantages of Hydrogenation

Making fat suitable for manufacture of margarine, shortening, coating fats, cooking oil and salad dressing oil.

HOcholesterol

Cholesterol•Essential component of cell membranes•Used as raw material for sex hormones and adrenocorticoid hormones•Used to make bile salts•High blood levels also associated with heart disease, atherosclerosis, arterial plaques

Cholesterol transported as Lipoprotein complex (LDL)

Lipoproteins classified by Density•HDL: High-density Lipoprotein•LDL: Low-density Lipoprotein•VLDV: Very low-density Lipoprotein–Triglycerides and cholesterol
