Red palm oil
“Red palm oil is, almost by definition, low in glycidyl esters and may also contain less 3-MCPD esters because it is more mildly refined. So maybe that could cause a renewed interest in red palm oil.” Laura Cassiday is an associate editor of INFORM at AOCS.

Edible Oil Processing
Edible Oil Processing. In the present context, the term edible oil processing covers the range of industrial processes that start with the isolation of triglyceride oils and fats from raw materials of biological origin.This range includes those refining processes that convert the crude oil into high quality oil products that are fit for human consumption and also the oil modification processes
The science of lipidomics has been defined as "the full characterization of lipid molecular species and of their biological roles with respect to expression of proteins involved in lipid metabolism and function, including gene regulation".

Alkali Refining American Oil Chemists' Society
1. Introduction. Two processes have been developed for the refining of edible oils and fats, i.e. physical and chemical refining; the decision which process to use depends on the types and qualities of the crude oil to be processed (Fig. 1).The names physical and chemical refining come from the process technology used to remove the free fatty acids (FFA) that are responsible for the oil acidity.

Development of Methods Used in the Extraction
Avocado oil contained antioxidants and phytosterols. 3, 29 The main antioxidant in avocado oil is α‐tocopherol (vitamin E), which is present at levels of 70–190 mg kg −1 oil. β‐, γ‐, and δ‐tocopherols are present only in minor amounts (<10 mg kg −1 oil). Other non‐lipid components present in the oil include chlorophylls (11
2025 was an exciting year filled with new innovations, findings and resources from across the industry. The American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) was proud to be a part of it all this past year. We would like to share with you our most popular content from our different channels and areas.

- What is crude oil refining?
- The Refining Process Refining of crude oil is done to remove unwanted minor components that make oils unappealing to consumers, while trying to cause the least possible damage to the neutral oil as well as minimum refining loss.
- What is alkali refining of oil?
- Alkali refining of oil is compulsory in crude oils of high acidity and pigment contents. The free fatty acid content of the oil is the main factor that determines the amount and concentration of the caustic soda and also its excess (5 to 20%) for a minimum oil loss.
- Who supports the lipid library?
- Since January 2017, the Lipid Library has been under the expert guidance of Editor-in-Chief Alejandro Marangoni. Support for Lipid Library is generously provided by Oil-Dri. Oil-Dri’s products, including Pure-Flo®, Supreme®, and Perform® bleaching clays, excel in the purification of fats, oils, and oleochemicals.
