Coconut Oil-RBD Process

                            

  • In order to refine coconut oil, RBD (Refined Bleached and Deodorized) Process renders a neutral flavor and smell due to a steam deodorization.
  • During the RBD process, heating is applied   especially during deodorization process, which is carried out at high temperature between 204 and 245C.
  • Product is bleached through addition of  activated charcoal and which is deodorized with steam and vacuum methods.
  • The technology for this type of  production of coconut oil through expellers is well developed and many medium scale industries in India produce oil by RBD method.
