2. Application Description

Its core advantage is pigment-selective adsorption. It can efficiently remove pigments such as carotenoids, chlorophyll and lutein, as well as pigment degradation products, from soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil and other edible oils without adsorbing beneficial components such as vitamins and sterols in the oils and without affecting oil flavor. This product is suitable for refined decolorization of edible oils, crude oil decolorization and color optimization of high-end edible oils. It can replace traditional decolorants, reduce oil loss, and comply with global environmental standards for edible oil decolorization.

3. Factory Advantages

Our enterprise owns a special production technology for decolorization silica gel, equipped with professional pigment detection equipment and an established precise decolorization performance control system. We have GMP food-grade production workshops and have passed ISO22000 and FDA certifications, with stable mass production capacity to meet the global large-scale edible oil decolorization demand. We support customizing product parameters according to the pigment content of different oils and provide optimization guidance for decolorization processes.

4. Shipment & Packaging

  • Standard Packaging: 20/25kg paper-plastic composite bags with moisture-proof desiccant inside to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration that may impact decolorization effect.
  • Storage & Transportation Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, sealed and light-proof environment, avoiding high temperature and humidity. This product is a non-hazardous chemical, supporting global sea and land transportation.
  • Labeling Norms: Clearly mark the decolorization-specialized property, decolorization rate and dosage limit. Multilingual labels and decolorization effect test reports can be affixed as per the requirements of international customers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will this product affect oil transparency after decolorization?

A: No, on the contrary, it can improve oil transparency. The decolorized oil has a uniform color, complying with the international edible oil color standard (Lovibond Colorimeter Standard).

Q: Is it suitable for low-temperature decolorization scenarios?

A: Yes, it can exert normal decolorization performance at 30-80℃. Low-temperature decolorization can better retain the nutritional components of oils, making it ideal for high-end edible oil processing.
