Edible Oils Refining

This course is designed to help attendees understand the informed decision-making manufacturers use in edible oil processing as they progress from an oilseed to a purified, palatable vegetable oil. We will cover the basics of the crushing process, but the primary focus is refining.

New this year: Special modules on cold pressing and fuel production from vegetable oils.

You can view more details and register for this course in January 2025.
