Vegetable Oil Refining Plant

The inherent harmful factors for human consumption like free fatty acids (FFA), gums, sediments, odoriferous and colouring materials present in crude oils are removed completely to make the oil edible. MECTECH takes special care in all the stages and after undergoing the process of neutralisation, bleaching and deodorisation, the oil is safe and fit for human intake.

Degumming / Neutralization

Degumming is a process of removing phospholipids to improve its physical stability and facilitate further refining. Presence of phospholipids leads the oil colour rise in high temperature and they can also serve as precursors of oil off -flavor. Free fatty acids, pigments and other impurities are also partially removed by degumming. Mectech follows different types of degumming processes. These processes are (ie water degumming acid degumming Exzymatic degumming) being selected based on methods of processing, chemicals used and the content of phosphatides in the crude vegetable oil.
