ABSTRACT
Since the publication of the first edition in 1992, the bleaching process has continued to attract the attention of researchers and the edible-oil industry. In this second edition, readers are directed to modern techniques of trace-metal analysis, including flame-atomic adsorption, graphite furnace atomic adsorption, and atomic emission spectrometry involving direct current plasma (DCP) and inductively coupled Plasma (ICP). The book discusses the Freundlich Equation and reports on high-temperature water extraction, high- temperature oxidative aqueous regeneration, and extraction with supercritical CO2. Various degumming methods improved over the past several decades are also discussed.
Basic Components and Procedures. Adsorption. Adsorbents. Bleaching of Important Fats and Oils. Bleachers. Filtration and Filters. Oil Recovery. Safety, Security, and the Prevention of Error. Important Tests Relating to Bleaching. The Freundlich Isotherm in Studying Adsorption in Oil Processing. Enzymatic Degumming of Edible Oils and Fats.
