palm oil deodorization,

Palm oil is generally refined by the physical process, which is preferred over the chemical process since high acidity can lead to excessive loss of neutral oil in the soapstock after alkali neutralization. The quality of the crude oil is to be considered as it can greatly affect the efficiency of the refining process and the quality of the end products, deodorization technology and the process conditions for a maximal retention of natural characteristics without affecting the quality of the palm oil.
