Five Billion People Unprotected from Trans Fat Leading to Heart Disease
Five billion people globally remain unprotected from harmful trans fat, a new status report from WHO has found, increasing their risk of heart disease and death. Since WHO first called for the global elimination of industrially produced trans fat in 2018 – with an elimination target set for 2023 – population coverage of best-practice policies has increased almost six-fold. Forty-three countries have now implemented best-practice policies for tackling trans fat in food, with 2.8 billion people protected globally. Despite substantial progress, however, this still leaves 5 billion worldwide at risk from trans fat’s devastating health impacts with the global goal for its total elimination in 2023 remaining unattainable at this time. Industrially produced trans fat (also called industrially produced trans-fatty acids) is commonly found in packaged foods, baked goods, cooking oils and spreads. Trans fat intake is responsible for up to 500 000 premature deaths from coronary heart disease each year around the world. “Trans fat has no known benefit, and huge health risks that incur huge costs for health systems,” said WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “By contrast, eliminating trans fat is cost effective and has enormous benefits for health. Put simply, trans fat is a toxic chemical that kills, and should have no place in food. It’s time to get rid of it once and for all.” Currently, 9 of the 16 countries with the highest estimated proportion of coronary heart disease deaths caused by trans fat intake do not have a best-practice policy. They are Australia, Azerbaijan, Bhutan, Ecuador, Egypt, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Nepal, Pakistan and Republic of Korea. Best-practices in trans fat elimination policies follow specific criteria established by WHO and limit industrially produced trans fat in all settings. There are two best-practice policy alternatives: 1) mandatory national limit of 2 grams of industrially produced trans fat per 100 grams of total fat in all foods; and 2) mandatory national ban on the production or use of partially hydrogenated oils (a major source of trans fat) as an ingredient in all foods. Myande innovative oil refining technology has been applied to a variety of edible oils production industries to help more edible oil producers eliminate trans fats from their products.

How does the cooking oil refinery process work?
The cooking oil refinery process involves several steps. Firstly, the oil undergoes degumming to remove impurities like phospholipids. Then, it goes through neutralization. After that, bleaching takes place to remove pigments and other contaminants. Finally, the oil is deodorized to eliminate any odors or flavors. Dewaxing or winterization process is also necessary if the wax content in the oil is high (e.g. corn oil, sunflower oil, etc.). The end result is a refined cooking oil with improved quality and stability.
How do you recover the fatty acid?
Deodorizer vapour enters the bottom of the Fatty Acid Collector/ Scrubber and passes through the packing, while cold liquid FFA is sprayed over the packing with FFA Recycle Pump. The fatty acid and other volatiles are condensed and recovered in the Fatty Acid Tank and finally send to storage. The liquid FFA is kept to the correct condensation temperature by a CT Water Cooler.
What is the basic difference between chemical refinery and physical refinery process?
Chemical refinery process normally consists of Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing(optional) and Deodorization.
Physical refinery process consists of the same steps with chemical refining, only excluding the alkali neutralization process which is aimed at removing free fatty acids by adding caustic soda and separating the soap by centrifugal machine.
Both chemical and physical refining processes aim to purify crude edible oil by removing impurities such as phospholipids, pigments, off-flavors, and free fatty acids. The choice of refining method depends on the characteristics of the crude edible oil, as each method has its advantages and suitability for different oil types.
What are the benefits of refined cooking oil?
1. Neutral flavor: Refined cooking oils typically have a milder and more neutral flavor compared to unrefined oils. This makes them suitable for a wide range of culinary applications as they do not overpower the taste of the dish.
2. Higher smoke point: Refined oils generally have a higher smoke point, which is the temperature at which the oil begins to smoke and break down. Oils with high smoke points are better for frying, deep-frying, and high-heat cooking methods, as they can withstand higher temperatures without producing harmful smoke or unpleasant flavors.
3. Longer shelf life: The refining process helps remove impurities, moisture, and other substances that can contribute to spoilage. As a result, refined cooking oils tend to have a longer shelf life compared to unrefined oils.
4. Versatility: Refined cooking oils are often more versatile and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Whether you're baking, sautéing, stir-frying, or making salad dressings, refined oils can adapt well to different cooking techniques and flavor profiles.
5. Nutritional profile: While refining can result in some loss of natural nutrients present in the original oil, refined oils still provide a source of essential fatty acids and calories. Some refined oils are also fortified with vitamins or other nutrients to compensate for any losses during processing.
What should I consider when choosing cooking oil refinery plant machine?
1. Production capacity: Determine your required production capacity based on the volume of oil you intend to process. Consider both current and future needs to ensure that the refinery machine can handle your desired output.
2. Refining process: Understand the refining process employed by the machine. Different machines may use different methods such as chemical refining, physical refining, or a combination of both. Evaluate the pros and cons of each process and choose the one that aligns with your requirements.
3. Automation and control system: Check the level of automation and the control system of the refinery plant machine. An efficient and user-friendly control system can streamline operations, ensure consistency, and facilitate ease of use.
4. Quality of refined oil: Consider the quality of the refined oil produced by the machine. Look for features that contribute to high-quality output, such as efficient removal of impurities, moisture, odor, and color. Additionally, check if the machine allows for customization of refining parameters to meet specific quality standards.
5. Energy efficiency: Assess the energy consumption and efficiency of the refinery plant machine. Look for features like heat recovery systems, optimized processing techniques, and energy-saving technologies. A more energy-efficient machine can help reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
6. Maintenance and durability: Consider the maintenance requirements and durability of the machine. A reliable production line with minimal downtime can improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs.
