  • What is an industrial sunflower oil refining machine?
  • An industrial sunflower oil refining machine ( cooking oil refinery equipment) is developed to meet the needs of various edible oil processing plants to refine sunflower seed oil and other kinds of cooking oil. Such equipment can produce fourth-grade oil, third-grade oil, second-grade oil, and first-grade oil.
  • Does sunflower oil retain more tocopherols in chemical refining process?
  • In chemical refining process, sunflower oil retained more tocopherols compared to the physical refining method. However chemical refining is considered less efficient due to saponification of neutral oil. 1. Introduction Vegetable oils are obtained through two primary methods: pressing and extraction.
  • What is sunflower seed oil refining process?
  • The sunflower seed oil refining process usually refers to the refining of crude sunflower seed oil. Crude oil is the oil extracted from vegetable oil through leaching or pressing process, which contains some inedible impurities.
  • What is the difference between physical and chemical refining of sunflower oil?
  • Tocopherol loss during physical refining was higher by 10% than in chemical refining due to the high temperatures used during the deodorization process, which removes free fatty acids in sunflower oil. In chemical refining process, sunflower oil retained more tocopherols compared to the physical refining method.
  • What are the advantages of Physical refining of sunflower oil?
  • Physical refining has several advantages compared to the classical chemical one. This process is more economical (improved yield, lower investment cost, less chemicals used) environmental friendly process (no soapstock to be treated, splitted) but more sensitive to the crude oil quality. Physical refining of sunflower oil is discussed in details.
  • How is crude pressed sunflower oil refined?
  • Crude pressed sunflower oil obtained from a local oil mill was refined using chemical method by degumming, neutralization, bleaching and dewaxing. The quality and composition of crude and refined oil were compared. The phosphorous content, FFA content, peroxide value and wax content decreased during the refining process.
