When crude palm oil is transferred to an edible oil refinery facility for refinement, decolorization, and deodorization, the edible oil that remains is referred to as RBD palm oil. RBD palm oil is almost white when solid and almost colorless and transparent when liquid. RBD palm oil can also be processed further to produce palm stearin and palm olein. Additionally, there are more applications and a higher market demand for RBD palm oil, palm olein, and palm stearin. Because of this, a lot of individuals are interested in learning how to create RBD palm oil as well as palm stearin and palm olein. Here, Henan Glory Company will walk you through the stages involved in producing RBD palm oil.

Degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization are the primary processes in the refining of palm oil.
The process of degumming involves mixing hot water or phosphoric acid with crude oil to remove colloidal contaminants.
The elimination of free fatty acids from crude oil is known as deacidification. In the whole RBD palm oil refining process, this is one of the most important steps. In other words, free fatty acid is neutralized by alkali, which causes it to generate saponin and separate from oil.
Decolorization is the process of applying a quantitative decolorization agent (active clay, activated carbon) to oil by vacuum inhalation, stirring the mixture for another 25 minutes, and then pumping the liquid onto a filter to achieve full decolorization.
Deodorization entails heating the decolorizing oil after it has been drawn into the deodorization tower. The steam will remove all flavors when the oil is heated over 100 degrees. Deodorization may successfully eliminate contaminants from crude oil in addition to removing odorous chemicals, raising the oil’s smoke point, and enhancing its flavor.
After achieving the food grade standard, the RBD palm oil—also known as edible oil—obtained through the aforementioned procedures is safe for human consumption. We can provide a range of equipment to assist people in producing crude palm oil, RBD palm oil, palm olein, palm stearin, and other products since we are a skilled producer of palm oil processing machinery. Please contact us at any moment if you would like more information about our palm oil processing machine.
How RBD palm oil and RBD palm oil differ from one another
RBD palm olein and RBD palm oil are two distinct types of palm oil. The abbreviation for refined bleached deodorized palm oil is RBD palm oil. The physical refining procedure, which consists of three steps—refining, bleaching (decolorization), and deodorization—is typically used by palm oil refineries. RBD palm oil is therefore a product of a palm oil refinery facility, is marketable, and satisfies the requirements. Additionally, RBD palm oil is further processed in a palm oil fractionation factory to yield RBD palm olein. At the same temperature, they could be in various states.
At 20°C, the RBD palm oil is semi-solid. Thus, the liquid and solid components of palm oil are separated using a palm oil fractionation system. RBD palm olein is the liquid component of palm oil, whereas RBD palm sterin is the solid component.
Following fractionation, RBD palm oil is frequently packaged and marketed as culinary oils. And trans-free fats like margarine, shortening, and vegetarian ghee are frequently made with RBD palm stearin.
Occasionally, “super palm olein,” a more liquid fraction, is obtained by further fractionating RBD palm olein. Compared to palm olein, this oil fraction could tolerate lower temperatures before clouding or solidifying.
Not to mention, RBD palm oil can be offered for less than RBD palm oil. You should purchase the palm oil fractionation and refinery plants simultaneously if you want to increase your income. Henan Doing Company can provide you a large-scale palm oil refinery and fractionation plant or a small-scale one with 5–10 tpd. Our engineers can assist you with installation and commissioning in addition to designing. Our project, a 100 tpd palm oil refinery and fractionation facility in Kenya, is available for viewing.
