Crude vegetable oils and fats after oil extraction may contain contaminants introduced in the supply chain. Many of these contaminants are largely removed from the oil by the refining process. However, these contaminants will concentrate in the refinery by-products; acid oil from soapsplitting and filter blowing, spent bleaching earth, and deodorizer distillate. The contaminant levels in these by-products are calculated by determining the lipids balance of the refinery and the fate of the contaminants in the refining process. Calculations of some example oils with characteristic contaminant levels show that deodorizer distillate from chemical refining has a high-contamination risk, deodorizer distillate from physical refining and spent bleaching earth has a medium risk, whereas acid oil from soapsplitting and filter blowing have a low-contamination risk.
