What we don’t do and Why

High-temperature processing causes the weak carbon bonds of unsaturated fatty acids, especially triple unsaturated linolenic acid, to break apart, thereby creating dangerous free radicals. In addition, antioxidants, such as fat-soluble vitamin E, which protect the body from the ravages of free radicals, are neutralized or destroyed by high temperatures and pressures. BHT and BHA, both suspected of causing cancer and brain damage, are often added to replace vitamin E and other natural preservatives destroyed by heat. So we do not

  • Heat / Steam the oil seeds to 110° C and add nHexane chemical to extract the oil.
  • Centrifuge and phosphate addition to extract the oil from the seed residues.
  • Degumm by heating to 90° C, steaming, centrifuging and adding phosphoric acid.
  • Neutralize by heating to 100° C and adding chemicals Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) / Sodium Carbonate.
  • Bleach by heating the oil and treating with activated carbon / clay.
  • Boil the oil further to at 220° C to deodorize it and serve trans fat direct to your pan.
  • Preservatives BHA and BHT to preserve the oil, which are known for source of several diseases including terminal illness.
  • Extract oil from metal expeller or rotary / Iron or stone chekku oil that may promote trans fat.
