General information
Deodorization is process towards the removal of highly volatile compounds (e.g. free fatty acids) from materials. Deodorization is widely applied in the refining of edible oils and fats. Free fatty acids and other compounds can be removed from crude degummed and/or alkali refined edible oils and fats after bleaching. Deodorization is also applied in the production of decaffeinated coffee, where solvent traces from the caffeine extraction process can be removed.

Description of technology, techniques and methods
Pulse Electric Field
PEF technology could be used in the food industry to improve the aromatic quality due to the low effect in volatile compounds.

Further Information: PEF
Changes in the process
Energy saving potentials
The energy saving potential lies on the possibility of avoiding a further processing thanks to the conservation of the volatiles compounds.
Changes in the energy distribution system
Electricity use intensified.
