    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_oil_refining

    Edible oil refining is a set of processes or treatments necessary to turn vegetable raw oil into edible oil.. Raw vegetable oil, obtained from seeds by pressing, solvent extraction, contains free fatty acids and other components such as phospholipids, waxes, peroxides, aldehydes, and ketones, which contribute to undesirable flavor, odor, and appearance; [1] for these reasons, all the oil has ...

    Vegetable oil refining may refer to: Fat hydrogenation, combining vegetable oil with hydrogen to make it more saturated; Edible oil refining, process to refin a raw oil to produce an edible oil, which differ from Olive oil production. Biodiesel production by transesterification; Production of hydrotreated vegetable oil, a biofuel

  4. Hydrotreated vegetable oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrotreated_vegetable_oil

    Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel made by the hydrocracking or hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Hydrocracking breaks big molecules into smaller ones using hydrogen while hydrogenation adds hydrogen to molecules. These methods can be used to create substitutes for gasoline, diesel, propane, kerosene and other chemical feedstock.

    This process is mostly seen when processing milk, starch derivatives, coffee, fruit juices, vegetable pastes and concentrates, seasonings, sauces, sugar, and edible oil. Evaporation is also used in food dehydration processes. The purpose of dehydration is to prevent the growth of molds in food, which only build when moisture is present. [5]
