Membrane-based simultaneous degumming and deacidification of vegetable oils

Characteristics of vegetable oils for use as fuel in stationary diesel engines—Towards specifications for a standard in West Africa

“…However, recent research work has proved that membrane filtration technologies allow dry degumming and neutralisation, at low temperatures (20°C). This process would be much more efficient, with lower operating costs, and thus available on a smaller scale [47]. …”

Non-Dissolved Solids Removal During Palm Kernel Oil Ultrafiltration

“…Membrane can be used in degumming process (Subramanian et al, 1999, Alicieo et al, 2002, Hafidi et al, 2005, Ribiero et al, 2008. Other studies also evaluate about membrane flux behavior of several vegetable oils (Manjula et al, 2011, Alicieo et al, 2002, deacidification (Firman et al, 2013), decolorization (Reddy, 2001), and pigment concentration from the oil .…”

“…For example, ultrafiltration membrane can be used in a simultaneous clarification and degumming process (Kusumah and Sadeli, 2007), deacidification and solvent recovery (Firman et al, 2013), simultaneous degumming, deacidification, water and soap removal (Hafidi et al, 2005), and also simultaneous deacidification, degumming, and color removal (Subramanian et al, 1999). This study focuses on the clarification of palm kernel oil using hydrophobic polypropylene hollow fiber membrane.…”

Production and refinement of oil from carp (Cyprinus carpio) viscera

“…However, crude oils require purification in order to meet standards for quality oil production and generation of a product acceptable for human consumption (Hafidi, Pioch, & Ajana, 2005). The refinement operations remove undesirable components, thus guaranteeing satisfactory purity and stability characteristics (acidity, colour, oxidative and sensorial).…”
