TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of carotenes and phosphorus from crude palm oil onto acid activated bleaching earth was investigated under bleaching conditions, i.e., high temperature (90, 105 and 115 ǫc) and low pressure (less than 50 ǒc).

TL;DR: In this article, five samples of buriti oil from industrial and artisanal suppliers were characterized in terms of nutritional quality parameters (nutraceutical levels) and acidity, and the results showed that the artisanal samples showed lower acidity and higher levels of carotenes and tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols).

TL;DR: The SFC curves showed that murumuru fat could be used as a cocoa butter replacer, whereas bacuri fat was found to be a promising alternative to hydrogenated oils in shortenings and spreads formulations and the blends expanded fats' melting ranges and enriched their fatty acid compositions from a nutritional standpoint.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of type and amount of bleaching earth (BE) on the final quality of refined palm oils, especially on the oxidative state and color, was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, an enzymatic degumming of soybean and rapeseed oils with Lecitase A1 (Lecithase Ultra) was performed and it was demonstrated that there is no specificity for a given phospholipid.
