Contaminants such as glycidol esters and 3-MCPD and 2-MCPD esters are a widely discussed issue in vegetable oil processing. These compounds can form during high-temperature refining and may have potentially carcinogenic effects. Therefore, Farmet has developed an innovative method that significantly reduces the presence of these harmful substances more effectively than previous technologies.
Farmet's patented equipment allows oil refining with an emphasis on preserving quality and retaining biologically active components such as tocochromanols and sterols. The equipment utilizes an advanced pre-stripper that contributes to the selective removal of glycidol esters without significant losses of valuable nutrients.
With this development, Farmet reaffirms its position as an innovator in the industry, contributing to the improvement of food product safety and quality.
