What determines the behavior of a degummed soybean oil process?

The behavior of the process was investigated as a function of resin loading, ethanol concentration and initial free fatty acids (FFAs) content. To obtain the acidified oil, degummed soybean oil and commercial linoleic acid were mixed.

How to deacidify a high acidity oil to a low-acidity oil?

The deacidification of a high acidity (37.7% FFA) oil to a low-acidity (7.8% FFA) oil was achieved, when pure CO 2 was used at a relatively low pressure (15 MPa) and relatively high temperature (60 ¡ãC).

How is linoleic acid adsorption isotherm derived from degummed soybean oil?

To obtain the acidified oil, degummed soybean oil and commercial linoleic acid were mixed. The Langmuir model was able to better describe the FFAs adsorption isotherms in comparison to the Freundlich equation.

How does chemical deacidification affect oil production?

In chemical deacidification, there is considerable oil loss due to the hydrolysis of neutral oil by caustic. Besides, loss of oil also occurs in the form of occlusion in soapstock. The soapstock can hold as much as 50% of its weight of neutral oil, thereby reducing the overall yield of refined product.
