Bleaching & Purifying Fats & Oils

Theory and Practice Second Edition. 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. In this second edition readers are directed to modern techniques of trace-metal analysis such as flame-atomic adsorption, graphite furnace atomic adsorption, and atomic emission spectrometry involving direct current plasma DCP and inductively coupled Plasma ICP. It also discusses the Freundlich Equation and reports on high-temperature water extraction, high- temperature oxidative aqueous regeneration, and extraction with supercritical CO2.
