Preservation of carotenes in the deacidification of crude palm oil

Abstract

Carotenoids in CPO can be preserved during the deacidification processes performed under mild conditions. The carotenes adsorption on the catalyst surface makes them more stable to air oxidation and to the oil acid content. Satisfactory FFA conversions were obtained and the catalyst showed good performance after 186 hours of work.
