RESUMO

Deacidification of com oil with ethanol by a continuous process was conduded in a perforated rotating-disc-contador (RDC). Since the phosphatides are insoluble in ethanol, different pre-treatments were performed such as degumming and bleahing to reduce the phosphorus content. Water degumming of crude com oil was more efficient than acid degumming with citric acid, at different temperatures varying from 10 to 70°C. The degumming of high acidity com oil was more efficient when neutral degumming agents were used. Samples of oils degummed at temperatures of 30°C and below passed the Cold Test (6 hours at O°C), independently of the degumming agents used. Under these conditions, simultaneous degumming and dewaxing occurred. Therefore, a separate winterization is not necessary at these temperatures. Degummed oil was treated with 0.1 % Silica at 70 or 80°C for 15 minutes under vacuum and bleached with 1 % of bleaching earth at 100°C for 30 minutes under vacuum. The bleached oil was used in the liquid-liquid extradion. The experimental operating conditions used in this study were: temperature ¬ 24 to 32°C; rotating speed - up to 300 rpm; feed/solvent ratio - 0.5/1 and 1/1; feed and solvent flow - 20 to 50 grams/min. The specification of the column was: length of 74 cm, diameter of 5 cm and extradion zone height of 31 cm, with 6 disks with free area of 20%. Azeotropic ethanol was chosen based on its seledivity and its capacity to extrad free fatty acid and diglyceride. The free fatty acid content varied from 0.96 to 7.74% and from 0.37 to 4.68%, for bleached and refined oil, respectively. The redudion of free fatty acid and diglyceride contents depended on the feed/solvent ratio and rotation speed. The perforated rotating disc contador was efficient in the deacidification of bleached com oil with a free fatty acid content of up to 7.80%.
