Reasons Why Animal Fats and Vegetable Oils Need to be Refined

 Oil refining is an important and necessary process for all types of vegetable oils and animal fats so that they can be ready for human use serving a large number of purposes. Animal fats and rice bran oil extraction supplier in India provides the necessary tools and equipment to carry out the same process. 



The length of the carbon chain differentiates saturated and unsaturated fats

 If we discuss in chemical terms, all oils and fats are Tri-Glycerides or “Fatty-Acid Glycerin Esters” (FAGE). They can never be consumed in raw form. Almost all the vegetable oils available today can be differentiated by analyzing the length of the carbon of the fatty acid.  

It is the length that differentiates saturated and unsaturated fats. “Unsaturated” fats are considered healthier than “saturated” fats. So many processes are carried out to separate saturated fat from the unsaturated one in which hydrogenation is very crucial carried out through a hydrogenation plant

Some of the most popular vegetable oils and fats include:

All vegetable oils are extracted from a wide variety of seeds, grains as well as nuts. Some of them are-

 

  • Canola
  • Rice bran
  • Castor
  • Coconut
  • Corn (Maize)
  • Cottonseed
  • Mustard
  • Olive
  • Palm and Palm-Kernel
  • Peanut (Groundnut)
  • Safflower
  • Soybean, and
  • Sunflower. 

Examples of animal oils and fats include:


  • Chicken-Fat (Chicken)
  • Fish-Oil (Fish)
  • Lard (Pigs), and
  • Tallow (Cows). 

Why vegetable oil refining is necessary

The proper and scientific refining of all vegetable oils is necessary in a facility provided by animal fat and rice bran oil extraction supplier in India because raw oils have a large number of impurities including moisture, insoluble substances, Magnesium, Calcium, free-fatty acids (FFA), Waxes, and Compounds of Sodium, Potassium, and other metals. The removal of all these impurities is essential for making these oils consumable by human beings.
