Enhancing the flavor, color and stability of edible oils.
We are leaders in edible oil refining, a crucial step in processing oils and fats to improve their flavor, odor, color and stability. CPM’s Crown provides comprehensive refining solutions that remove impurities and contaminants from pressed or extracted oils, making them suitable for consumption and industrial use. Our refining processes ensure high-quality end products that meet stringent industry standards.
Our refining process includes several key stages: degumming, neutralizing, bleaching and deodorizing. Each stage is designed to remove specific impurities such as phosphatides, free fatty acids and pro-oxidants, resulting in refined oils that are clear, stable and have and that have an improved sensory profile.
This stage removes phospholipids and other gum impurities from the crude oil, which can cause issues during further processing and storage.
Neutralizing involves the removal of free fatty acids to reduce acidity and prevent soap formation during further processing.
This process removes color bodies, residual gums and other impurities, resulting in a lighter-colored oil.
Deodorizing removes volatile compounds that cause undesirable odors and flavors, ensuring the oil is palatable and has a long shelf life.
Crude filtration is the initial process of removing large impurities and solid particles from the crude palm oil.
Winterizing and dewaxing involve chilling the oil to precipitate waxes and other solid fractions, which are then removed to improve clarity and stability.
Lecithin drying removes moisture from lecithin, enhancing its stability and shelf life.
Enzymatic degumming uses specific enzymes to break down and remove phospholipids, resulting in better oil yield and quality.
Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen to unsaturated fats, converting them to saturated fats, which increases their melting point and stability.
Fractionation separates oil into solid and liquid fractions; wet fractionation uses solvents, while dry fractionation relies on temperature control without solvents to achieve separation.
Fractionation separates oil into solid and liquid Fat modification alters the physical and chemical properties of fats to meet specific functional requirements for various applications.
