Alkali Refining is one of the most traditional and reliable methods for removing free fatty acids (FFA) and impurities from crude vegetable oils. The process ensures superior oil quality, stability, and extended shelf life — forming the backbone of modern edible oil refining plants.
In this method, the crude oil is treated with a caustic soda (NaOH) solution that neutralizes the free fatty acids present. The resulting soap stock is separated from the neutralized oil through centrifugation, followed by water washing and drying to achieve refined, clear oil.
Addition of alkali to react with FFAs and form soap stock.
Efficient separation of soap stock from oil.
Removal of residual soap and impurities.
Moisture elimination to ensure oil purity and long-term stability.
Alkali Refining is used across soybean oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, groundnut oil, and several other vegetable oils before further refining stages such as bleaching and deodorization.
