Introduction
Since the original publication of this book in 1992, the bleaching process has continued to attract the attention of researchers and the edible-oil industry.
New Techniques and Analysis
In this 2nd edition, the reader is directed to more modern techniques of analysis such as flame-atomic adsorption, graphite furnace atomic adsorption, and atomic emission spectrometry involving direct current plasma (DCP) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP).
Topics Covered
It also discusses the Freundlich Equation and reports on high-temperature water extraction, high-temperature oxidative aqueous regeneration, and extraction with supercritical CO2.
Advancements in Degumming
Finally, various degumming methods improved over the past several decades are discussed.
Progress in Bleaching and Purifying
Second edition features the progress in the bleaching and purifying of fats and oils since the mid-1990s.
Adsorptive Purification
Includes extensive details on the adsorptive purification of an oil prior to subsequent steps in the process, including refining and deodorization.
Practical Considerations
