Abstract
Abstract In current paper, a comprehensive review to contribute the present insight an implementations and the recent improvements through the diverse endeavor made by the researchers utilizing a membrane technique for degumming, deacidifying, dewaxing and discoloration edible vegetable oils with and without solvent availability and also the solvent recovery has been evaluated. Endeavors made with NF, UF, MF and non-porous membranes, have shown the capability of these membranes to predicate vegetable oil treatment. A membrane technique is noticeably simple and potentially provides many usefulness in vegetable oil purification. It appears that oils treatment with membranes, which carried out at low temperatures that provides saving energy, with real cancellation of stages, provides a promising alternate to conventional procedure, towards the accomplishment of eco-friendly and cost-effective operations that are technically sophisticated. Generally, the solvent (hexane-dilution) technique enhances the membrane oil flux. For dewaxing undiluted vegetable oils, the effective membrane was MF, whereas in dewaxing solvent-diluted oils process UF membranes were more energetic.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Food Engineering is devoted to engineering disciplines related to processing foods. The areas of interest include heat, mass transfer and fluid flow in food processing; food microstructure development and characterization; application of artificial intelligence in food engineering research and in industry; food biotechnology; and mathematical modeling and software development for food processing purposes. Authors and editors come from top engineering programs around the world: the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Western Europe, but also South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
