Patent number: 11760956Abstract: A method is provided for preventing or reducing the formation of monochloropropanediols (MCPDs) or monochloropropanediol esters (MCPDEs) in triacylglyceride oil, comprising the steps: (a) concentrating insoluble components in liquid triacylglyceride oil by (i) applying a 5 centrifugational force on the triacylglyceride oil whilst maintaining the triacylglyceride oil above its melting temperature; and/or (ii) allowing the insoluble components to settle by gravitational force whilst maintaining the triacylglyceride oil above its melting temperature; (b) separating the triacylglyceride oil from the insoluble components; (c) optionally applying additional refining steps and (d) applying heat treatment to the triacylglyceride oil. A purified 10 triacylglyceride oil obtainable by the method of the invention is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Kornel Nagy, Marine Nicolas, Karine Meisser Redeuil, Xanthippi Theurillat, Sabine Lahrichi
