Turnkey Projects For Edible Oil Processing - Degumming Process

This process has been developed which utilizes the phenomenon that hydratable phospholipids contains polar groups which form liquid crystal in connection with water. In the total degumming process, oil is mixed with hot water, caustic lye, phosphoric acid in neutralize and is given proper retention time in a retention tank so as to convert all non-hydrated gums to lyso form which forms more stable hydratable gums which can be separated out from the oil by centrifugation. This process has been tried and tested in case of rice bran oil. For other oils like palm & sunflower different route of neutralization, degumming and washing is used as per the feed oil.
