2. Application Description
Its core function is the deep purification of edible oils. It can precisely remove trace heavy metals, pesticide residues, plasticizers and their degradation products in oil products, while adsorbing trace moisture and gums without damaging the nutritional components and natural flavor of the oils. The purified oil products meet the high-end edible oil standards of the EU and North America. This product is suitable for the deep purification of high-end edible oils such as olive oil, camellia oil and walnut oil, as well as organic edible oils, and can be applied in both large-scale production and small-batch customized purification scenarios.
