Hydrocarbon solvent recovery fractionation: CargillRecent Research Landscape

Mineral oil contamination in food-grade oils creates significant regulatory and health risks. These innovations utilize specific separation stages to selectively strip saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons from vegetable lipids.

What technical problems is Cargill addressing in Hydrocarbon solvent recovery fractionation?

Residual hydrocarbon contamination

(2)evidences

Incomplete separation of extraction solvents from organic products leads to safety risks and poor product purity. Eliminating these trace contaminants ensures regulatory compliance and high-grade material quality.

Mineral oil hydrocarbon contamination

(2)evidences

The presence of residual mineral oil saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons in refined products or food contact materials leads to safety risks and regulatory non-compliance. Eliminating these impurities ensures product purity and prevents toxicological exposure.
