Abstract

SummarySystematic phase relation data have been obtained pertaining to the solvent‐winterization behavior of a refined peanut oil in a mixed solvent consisting of 85% by weight of acetone and 15% of hexane. Graphs have been constructed to show the effect of oil‐solvent ratio, chilling temperature, holding‐time, and agitation on the percentage of solid removed, on the degree of winterization, and on the settling qualities of the solid separating.The results show that it is possible on a laboratory scale to solvent‐winterize refined peanut oil in this solvent mixture. The data afford a preliminary basis for pilot plant design, selection of optimum conditions, and recognition of limitations for pilot plant research on the solvent winterization of peanut oil.
