Cooking oil treating system and composition therefor

摘要

A composition is disclosed which is useful for reduction (by as much as 50% or more) of the rate of free fatty acid buildup and color degradation in cooking oils in fast food outlets and other eating establishments. The composition consists essentially of three specifically defined components: 47 to 59 parts by weight diatomite, 28 to 36 parts by weight synthetic calcium silicate hydrate, and 12 to 24 parts by weight synthetic magnesium silicate hydrate. Also disclosed is a process for achieving such reduction by treating the oil (as by filtering) with the composition.
