Artisan’s advanced purification technologies are designed to meet these stringent requirements, improving product quality, increasing yield, and reducing operational costs.
Artisan’s edible oil purification technologies offer significant advantages in contaminant mitigation. Our solutions effectively remove contaminants such as MCPDs, GEs, MOSH, and MOAH in a single pass, achieving up to 99% yield. Additionally, we specialize in the concentration of omega-3 oils, enhancing the nutritional value of your products.
Artisan Industries’ innovative Short-Path Stripper™ outperforms traditional wiped-film short path evaporators, molecular distillation, and deodorizer systems. These include being a scalable solution, having multiple equilibrium stages of separation in a single column, and no moving parts. This patented technology, awarded in December 2020, excels in removing environmental and process-generated contaminants from various edible oils. The Short-Path Stripper™ allows for physical refining and recovery of omega-3 ethyl esters, making it a versatile solution for the edible oils industry.
The edible oils industry faces significant challenges related to emerging contaminants, particularly glycidyl esters (GEs), monochloropropanediols (MCPDs), and mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOSH + MOAH). These contaminants have similar vapor pressures to the product which is heat sensitive, thus requiring extremely low operating pressures for efficient removal. Artisan’s Short-Path Stripper™ operates under micron-range vacuum conditions, achieving superior contaminant mitigation without degrading oil quality or losing large quantities of product.
Artisan has demonstrated success in mitigating contaminants across various edible oils:
• Refined Soybean and Palm Oil: Achieved over 75% reduction of GEs and MCPDs, meeting EU regulations for vegetable oils and fats.
• Refined and Crude Coconut Oil: Reduced MOSH by up to 80% and MOAH by up to 75%, ensuring compliance with stringent customer specifications.
Artisan’s technology is adaptable to a wide range of edible oil processing applications, ensuring high-quality and safe end products:
• Free Fatty Acid Stripping: Efficiently remove free fatty acids from edible oils.
• Pesticide Removal: Eliminate harmful pesticides from oils.
• Monoglyceride and Glycerol Distillation: Purify and distill monoglycerides.
• Fish and Marine Oil Purification and Deodorization: Remove PCBs, dioxanes, and retain tocopherols.
• Carotene, Squalene, and Lycopene Distillation: Concentrate valuable compounds.
• Hemp and Cannabis Oil Purification: Ensure the purity of hemp and cannabis oils.
• Toxin Removal: Eliminate toxins from edible fats and oils, including fish oils.
