BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0019] Figure 1 The process flowchart of the present application is shown.
[0020] The present application will be described below through specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the present application are methods known to those skilled in the art. In addition, the embodiments should be understood as illustrative, rather than limiting the scope of the present application, and the essence and scope of the present application are only limited by the claims. For those skilled in the art, various changes or modifications to the material components and amounts in these embodiments without departing from the essence and scope of the present application also fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0021] In combination Figure 1 A three-stage deodorized soybean oil refining process provided by the present application is described, and the steps are as follows:
[0022] Step (1), 0.05%-0.2% edible-grade phosphoric acid is added to the crude oil, which is mixed in a mixer and then placed in an acid reaction tank for residence and coagulation.
[0023] The principle or effect of adding phosphoric acid is to convert the non-hydrated phospholipid in the oil into hydrated phospholipid, so as to facilitate the subsequent removal of phospholipid.
[0024] In step (1), the oil temperature is controlled at 70-80°C, and the condensation time is 40-60 min.
[0025] Before adding phosphoric acid, the crude oil can be coarsely filtered by a filter.
[0026] In step (2), the alkali concentration is determined according to the different acid values of the crude oil, and the oil and alkali are mixed at 80-85°C, and then the mixed oil is fed into the alkali reaction tank through the multi-effect mixer, and the alkali refining reaction time is 6-15 min.
[0027] The principle or effect of adding alkali is to neutralize the acid and base, remove the free fatty acid in the oil, and adjust the acid value of the oil.
[0028] In step (3), a first centrifuge is used for centrifugal separation; the acid value of the separated oil (KOH) is 0.1-0.3 mg / g; at the same time, the soap kernels are removed through separation.
[0029] In step (4), water washing: a 25% citric acid aqueous solution is prepared and added, the metal ions are chelated by citric acid, 3%-5% soft water is added to the oil, the water temperature is higher than the oil temperature by 5°C, and then the mixture is fed into the mixer and the retention tank, and then separated by a second separator after washing;
[0030] The effect of adding citric acid water is: 1. removing excess alkali in the alkali refining process; 2. breaking emulsion to prevent oil and water from being emulsified. The purpose of water washing is: 1. removing residual soap; 2. removing excess alkali.
[0031] After separation, the water content in the oil is controlled at 0.3%-0.5%, and the equipment vacuum is ≤100 mbar.
[0032] Preferably, after step (4), the oil is dried after secondary separation, and the water content in the dried oil is less than or equal to 0.1%. The drying process uses a dryer and a drying tower for drying.
[0033] In this embodiment, the neutralized and dried oil has an acid value (KOH) of 0.15-0.3 mg / g, a residual soap content of 41.0 mg / kg, a phosphorus content of 9.50 mg / kg, and a water content of 0.1%.
[0034] In step (5), deodorization: the deodorization vacuum is ≤5 mbar, the deodorization temperature is 225-235°C, the time is 60-80 min, stripping steam is introduced, and the trap temperature is 45-50°C.
[0035] Preferably, the deodorization process in step (5) uses a combination of a packed tower and a plate tower.
[0036] Deodorization is a process that removes odoriferous substances from oil by taking advantage of the large difference in volatility (vapor pressure) between the odoriferous substances and the triglycerides. In essence, deodorization is a mass transfer process that requires removal of all odoriferous substances from the oil at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the oil.
[0037] Preferably, before the deodorization process in step (5), the oil is first subjected to a degassing and heating process: at a pressure of about 3 mbar, the oil is subjected to steam injection, and the oil is fully contacted with the steam under the agitation of the steam, and the steam is uniformly dispersed in the oil; finally, the oil is cooled under vacuum conditions by heat exchange.
[0038] Preferably, before the deodorization process, the oil is subjected to a bleaching process, and the bleaching system is maintained at a vacuum of ≤ 100 mbar.
[0039] The bleaching process can be omitted if the customer does not have high requirements for color.
[0040] The finished oil after deodorization is filtered through a precision filter, and the finished oil is then stored in a tank.
[0041] After the crude oil is processed by the process, the effective experimental data obtained are as follows:
[0042]
[0043] As can be seen from the above table, the cost oil obtained after the above process steps (without bleaching process) has no odor, good taste, and is suitable for market.
