RESUMO

Tocopherols and phytosterols are minority compounds present in vegetables oils. Tocopherols show vitaminic activities and antioxidant properties. Vitamin E is composed by four tocopherols (a, b, g and d) and four tocotrienols (a, b, g and d). The phytosterols have anticholesterolemic and anticarcinogenic properties. The main natural sources of tocopherols and phytosterols are the vegetable oil deodorized distillate (VODD). The deodorized distillates are composed by fatty acids, acylglycerols, sterols, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones and tocopherols. In this work, two kinds of molecular distillation equipments were studied: centrifugal and falling film (wiped). The soybean, canola and sunflower oil deodorized distillates were carried out at falling film molecular distilator. The free fatty acids recovery in function of the Distillation mass/Residue mass ratio shows similar behavior to the three VODDs. Soybean oil deodorized distillate, abundant in Brazil, was chosen to be processed in the centrifugal molecular distiller. This centrifugal molecular distillation process was studied experimental and simulated. The factorial design was carried out to analyze the variable behavior (evaporator temperature and feed flow rate). The free fatty acids elimination occurs at higher evaporator temperatures and lower feed flow rate. The falling film and centrifugal molecular distillation process duplicates the tocopherol concentration. Through successive distillations, the tocopherol concentration was three times higher and with the crystallization, the tocopherol concentration was four times in relation to the original concentration
