This calcium bentonite is processed to have a high montmorillonite content and fine particle size that ensure effective adsorption of color pigments and impurities unique to crude palm oil, enhancing the bleaching process.
While primarily formulated for palm oil, its high adsorption capacity and purity also make it suitable for refining other edible oils but optimal performance is achieved in palm oil applications.
Typical dosage ranges between 0.3% to 1% by weight of crude palm oil depending on the impurity level and desired bleaching efficiency.
Low moisture content ensures consistent dispersion and prevents clumping, leading to uniform bleaching and minimal oil loss during processing.
Yes, it is non-toxic, environmentally safe and meets regulatory requirements for use in edible oil refining processes.
