This invention relates to an improved process for dewaxing vegetable oils containing free fatty acid impurities, wax and other insoluble matter, which comprises: chilling a refined and water-washed or filtered vegetable oil, mixing the chilled vegetable oil with a dilute alkaline solution; gently agitating the resulting mixture, centrifuging the mixture and separating a heavy phase which contains wax and other impurities from a light phase which may then be bleached and deodorized to form a clear oil. The invention further relates to a reliable process for producing salad oils and other clear oils which remain clear at ambient to refrigerator temperatures.
