Abstract
This study presents significant advancements in the refinement of vegetable oils, demonstrating a 40% increase in processing capacity and a 30% reduction in production time. Additionally, energy consumption was reduced by 25%, leading to a 20% decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These improvements are attributed to the implementation of renewable energy technologies and heat recovery systems. With these advancements, Oleofinos has enhanced its safety and quality standards, maintaining the FSSC 22000 Certification for Food Safety Risk Management and the Rainforest Alliance Certification, which is recognised as the world’s leading certifier under the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) with over 25 years of experience in environmental certification. Currently, Oleofinos is the largest plant of its kind in Mexico, boasting an unprecedented processing capacity of 500,000 tonnes per year. The results of this study underscore the significance and transformative impact of research, establishing a benchmark for future initiatives aimed at process improvement in the sector and reinforcing the commitment to operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
