Processes for preparation of oil compositions

A process for preparing an oil composition comprising

• degumming a crude oil to form a degummed oil;
• neutralizing the degummed oil with an alkaline aqueous solution, in the presence of an inert gas to minimize oxygen concentration, to form a refined oil, or reacting the degummed oil with an acidic aqueous solution, in the presence of an inert gas to minimize oxygen concentration, to form a mixture and neutralizing the mixture with an alkaline aqueous solution, in the presence of an inert gas to minimize oxygen concentration, to form a refined oil;
• bleaching the refined oil to form a refined, bleached oil;
• and
• deodorizing the refined, bleached oil to form the oil composition, wherein:
• the refined, bleached oil is deodorized under process conditions that form the oil composition having an anisidine value of less than about 3 and comprises less than 1 wt. % trans-fatty acid based on the total weight of fatty acids or derivatives thereof in the oil composition.

A process for preparing an oil composition comprising

• reacting a crude oil with an acidic aqueous solution, at a temperature of at least 35° C. and in the presence of an inert gas to minimize oxygen concentration, to form a degummed oil;
• bleaching the degummed oil to form a bleached oil;
• and
• deodorizing the bleached oil to form the oil composition, wherein:
• the bleached oil is deodorized under process conditions that form the oil composition having an anisidine value of less than about 3 and comprises less than 1 wt. % trans-fatty acid based on the total weight of fatty acids or derivatives thereof in the oil composition.

A process for preparing an oil composition comprising

• contacting an oil-containing material with an extraction fluid, in the presence of an inert gas to minimize oxygen concentration, to extract a crude oil from the oil-containing material and degumming the crude oil to form a degummed oil;
• bleaching the degummed oil to form a bleached oil;
• and
• deodorizing the bleached oil to form the oil composition having an anisidine value of less than about 3 and comprising less than 1 wt. % trans-fatty acid based on the total weight of fatty acids or derivatives thereof in the oil composition.

A process for preparing a non-animal oil comprising

• degumming a crude non-animal oil to form a degummed oil;
• contacting the degummed oil with a bleaching material under process conditions that minimize oxidation or minimize isomerization of cis-fatty acids to trans-fatty acids to form a bleached oil;
• and
• physically refining and deodorizing the bleached oil under process conditions comprising either a temperature from about 185° C. to about 225° C. and a pressure of not more than about 0.1 kPa for not more than about 260 minutes, or a temperature from about 245° C. to about 295° C. and a pressure of not more than about 0.1 kPa for not more than about 120 minutes.
