New Farmet OFT Patent: A Revolutionary Step in Vegetable Oil Refining

Farmet OFT s.r.o., a leading company in the field of oilseed processing, has obtained a new patent for a method of removing glycidyl esters from refined oils and fats. This innovative process, carried out in a distillation column with a pre-stripper and a special packed section, is designed to efficiently eliminate contaminants while preserving the high quality of the oil.

New Farmet OFT Patent: A Revolutionary Step in Vegetable Oil Refining

Contaminants such as glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD and 2-MCPD esters are widely discussed issues in the processing of vegetable oils. These compounds can form during high-temperature refining and may have potentially carcinogenic effects. In response, Farmet has developed an innovative method that minimizes the content of these harmful substances significantly more effectively than previous technologies.

The patented Farmet equipment enables oil refining with a strong focus on maintaining quality and preserving biologically active components, such as tocochromanols and sterols. The system uses an advanced pre-stripper, which contributes to the selective removal of glycidyl esters without significant loss of valuable nutrients.

With this advancement, Farmet reaffirms its position as an innovator in the industry and contributes to enhancing the safety and quality of food products.
