Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0473985A2] Unwanted substances such as gums and phosphatides also get into the oil in the production of crude vegetable oils. Many of these substances can be hydrated and can be removed by aqueous degumming, that is to say by a treatment with water or steam, swelling or hydration with subsequent separation, normally by centrifugation. The removal of the remaining non-hydratable substances requires special and very elaborate methods. Reducing the content of gums which can no longer be hydrated with water and simultaneously reducing the wax content of vegetable oils is considerably simplified and improved by the following treatment steps which are to be carried out consecutively. <??>First a dilute acid or an anhydride is mixed carefully with the oil at elevated temperature and the mixture is stirred for a contact time lasting several minutes. Then a dilute basic solution is added and this mixture is likewise stirred slowly for a reaction time lasting, for example, two hours. This is followed by very rapid heating, and the substances which have separated out, and the water are separated from the oil and, if required, the oil is washed with water.
