    Patent number: 4754613
    Abstract: An improved vacuum process is disclosed for use in treating vapors created during deodorization and/or physical refining of edible oils and fats. Vapors are condensed by contact with a saline solution which may be introduced at a temperature below the freezing point of pure water, the temperature being adjusted according to desired absolute pressure. Saline solution is recirculated through a flotation and cooling unit where a constant addition of salt and a purge of solution are made.
