Process for dry fractionation of fats and oils

摘要

A process for the dry fractionation of fats and oils by allowing a fat-and-oil feedstock having SFI at 20 DEG C of, at least, 15 to stand to form fat crystals and to obtain cakes containing fat crystals and subjecting the cakes to separation of solids from the liquid phase wherein the fat-and-oil feedstock to be allowed to stand is pre-cooled to a temperature of, at the highest, 3 DEG C higher than that of a cooling medium used for the crystallization.
