Abstract
AbstractEfficiencies of synthetic adsorbents and attapulgites in bleaching alkali‐refined rapeseed and soybean oils ranged from 13–53% and 93–97%, respectively. The Freundlich equation was more applicable than the Langmuir equation to the experimental adsorption isotherms of β‐carotene on attapulgites. Bleaching with attapulgites reduced tocopherols by 12.5–29.5% in rapeseed oil and by 18.9–44.8% in soybean oil. Cosmetic‐grade attapulgite was superior to the others in bleaching efficiency, equilibrium amount adsorbed and removal of free fatty acids.
