Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for reducing the content of MOSH and/or MOAH in lauric oil, wherein the process is comprising the step of: a) transesterifying a lauric oil in the presence of an alcohol and obtaining a fatty acid alkyl ester fraction and glycerol fraction, b) purifying the fatty acid alkyl ester fraction from step a) into whole distilled lauric oil fatty acid alkyl esters, and c) transesterifying the whole distilled lauric oil fatty acid alkyl esters from step b) in the presence of glycerol, and obtaining a MOSH and/or MOAH-reduced lauric oil.
