Q1. Bleaching In Oil Processing Is Done To?
A. Remove Color
B. Remove Free Fatty Acids
C. Remove Free Radicals
D. Remove Caustic Soda
ANSWER: A. Remove Color
- Explanation: Bleaching Is A Process That Is Aimed To Remove The Color Pigments Contained Inside Vegetable Oils. The Neutralized Oil Is Heated At Additional Temperature Through Thermic Boilers To Ultimately Raise The Temperature Of Oil Up To 120°C To 130°C. The Oil Is Then Treated With Bleaching Clays That Adsorb The Color Pigments.Bleaching In Oil Processing Is Done To Remove Color.
