Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. in CN 102517142B, the trans-fatty acid of single soybean oil is controlled below 0.5 percent (FDA zero trans labeling standard in the United states) through process optimization, but the invention can realize more strict zero trans (less than or equal to 0.3 percent and GB28050-2011) of various oil types.
2. VE and sterol retention is more than or equal to 90 percent, CN 103451016A mentions the optimized effect of a deodorization section on rapeseed oil α -tocopherol retention, but only mentions that the retention of α -tocopherol is above 172ppm, does not mention retention rate, and does not mention loss and protection measures of sterol in the refining process of rapeseed oil, although the deodorization section in CN 102293264B also adopts low-temperature deodorization, the double-tower temperature is unified, the VE loss rate is 11-16 percent, trans-fatty acid is 0.5-1 percent, and the sterol retention rate is not mentioned, but the VE and sterol retention of the invention can reach more than 90 percent.
3. Good flavor and no peculiar smell: most of existing factory deodorizing equipment is a packed tower-plate tower integrated tower, although most of small molecular aldehyde ketone compounds can be removed under high temperature conditions, in fact, oil can be decomposed under high temperature conditions in the plate tower to generate part of small molecular aldehyde ketone compounds, which has bad influence on the flavor of refined oil, and causes bad flavors such as beany flavor, green grass flavor, vegetable flavor and the like. However, the blend oil of the invention has no peculiar smell such as beany flavor, grass flavor, vegetable flavor, oxidation flavor, atlapulgite flavor and the like.
4. The frying performance is good, the rising trend of acid value, color and polar compounds and the oil absorption rate of food in the frying process can be slowed, and the oil absorption rate of the frying index △ AV, the &ttttranslation = delta ">t &/t &tttr, △ polar compounds and food can be reduced by 10-30%.
