RESUMO

Distilates of the vegetable oil deodorization (DVOD) are composed by free fatty acids, phytosterols, tocopherols, phytosterol esters, hydrocarbons, acylglycerols and products of decomposition of these molecules. The content of free fatty acids (FFA) in the deodorizer distillates varies between 24% and 85%. Due to its high content, free fatty acid separation from deodorizer distillate is an important step to concentrate tocopherols and phytosterols in high purity. Tocopherols are valuable natural substances used in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries due to its vitaminic and antioxidant properties. Phytosterols have received grat attention because its hipocholesterolemic properties and potential to be used in nutraceutics. In this work, separation of free fatty acids from sunflower (SuODD) and canola oil (CODD) deodorizer distillates was investigated through molecular distillation. For this, different operating conditions of evaporator temperature and feed flow rate were used. The intention is to evaluate the behavior of the system and to determine the best operating conditions to eliminate FFA, minimizing tocopherol losses during the process. Furthermore, in this work, it was necessary to establish analytical techniques to determine the contents of tocopherols, phytosterols, triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols and free fatty acids in DVOD. Besides, of DDOC and DDOG, the soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD) was also characterized... Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations
