All About Cooking Oil Refining:
The process of Cooking Oil Refining is essential for various vegetable oils and fats or animal oils and fats to make them useful for the frying and salad dressing usages.


In Chemical terms, all oils are Tri-Glycerides. One Glycerin molecule combines with three Fatty-Acid molecules to form one Fatty-Acid Glycerin Ester. The oils are a blend of such different esters. Higher the number of double bonds between two carbon atoms, the greater is the extent of “unsaturated” fatty-acids in the fatty-acid profile of the oils. Unsaturated Oils and Fats are considered more desirable than saturated oils and fats from health point of view.

Purpose for Cooking Oil Refining:
The extracted crude oils and fats have impurity content in them. These impurities can be of various different types such as Moisture, Insoluble Solids, Lecithins, Fatty Acids, Waxes, Compounds, Trace Metals etc. In order to improve the functionality of the cooking oils, they need to removed or reduced.
