Present invention relates to process for removing impurities from vegetable oil, comprising the step of subjecting vegetable oil to a short-path evaporation, the short-path evaporation being performed at a pressure of below 1 mbar, at an evaporator temperature of more than 200° C. and with a feed rate per unit area of evaporator surface of: (a) more than 400 kg/h·m2, whereby the vegetable oil being subjected to the short-path evaporation is a vegetable lauric oil, or (b) more than 170 kg/h·m2, whereby the vegetable oil being subjected to the short-path evaporation is palm oil or a palm oil component, or (c) more than 220 kg/h·m2, whereby the vegetable oil being subjected to the short-path evaporation is a vegetable liquid oil, and thus obtaining a retentate vegetable oil and distillate. Present invention further relates to the use of short-path evaporation for removing impurities from vegetable oil.
A process for removing impurities from vegetable oil, wherein the process is comprising the step of subjecting a vegetable oil to a short-path evaporation, wherein the short-path evaporation is performed at a pressure of below 1 mbar, at an evaporator temperature in a range of more than 200° C. and with a feed rate per unit area of evaporator surface of the short-path evaporation equipment of:
