Definitions
- the present invention relates a method of producing a refined palm-based fat and/or oil, and a method of reducing glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, and fatty acid esters thereof, and/or diglyceride in the refined palm-based fat and/or oil.
- Fats and/or oils contain trace components which may be implicated in physiology activities. These trace components include glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, fatty acid esters thereof.
- the above trace components are suspected to be linked with nutritional problems, but unlikely constitute a direct threat to health as long as they are in those levels where they are included in fats and/or oils such as plant oils which have a good track record in ingestion through diets over a period of many years. In line with this, the tolerable upper intake level and other standards are not established. However, due to the demands for safer fats and/or oils, various methods of reducing the aforementioned components in fats and/or oils have been proposed.
- Glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, and fatty acid esters thereof are known to be generated during a deodorizing step and other.
- diglyceride is a known agent responsible for 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (Nonpatent Document 1). It is recognized that a high concentration of 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol tends to be present in diglyceride-rich fats and/or oils, particularly in refined palm-based fats and/or oils (palm oil, palm kernel oil).
- Patent Document 1 provides a method of reducing glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, fatty acid esters thereof, in fats and/or oils such as palm oil, the method including: bleaching a deodorized oil with white clay at a pH of 5 to 7; and further performing deodorization.
- Patent Document 2 provides a method of controlling an increase in glycidol and fatty acid esters thereof, the method including: performing deodorization at a high temperature and a high vapor amount.
- Non-Patent Document 1 LWT-Food Science and Technology 42 (2009) 1751-1754
- WO2015/073359 discloses obtaining a refined fat and/or oil by performing short-path distillation treatment.
- this document does not disclose feeding rate per unit area of an evaporation surface.
- glycidol may not be sufficiently reduced in the deodorizing step due to prolonged exposure of a fat and/or oil to a high temperature. Therefore, there have been demands for a method capable of reducing generation of glycidol in a step other than the deodorizing step.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a refined palm-based fat and/or oil in which the contents of glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, and fatty acid esters thereof, and/or diglyceride can be reduced.

- the method of produce according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of performing thin-film distillation treatment of a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil at a temperature condition of 190 °C or more and 290°C or less to obtain a refined palm-based fat and/or oil.
- a temperature condition of 190 °C or more and 290°C or less to obtain a refined palm-based fat and/or oil.
- a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil is subjected to thin-film distillation treatment.
- thin-film distillation treatment means that a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil is allowed to form a thin-film, and heated under a reduced pressure to effect evaporation.
- a residue (a thin-film distillated fat and/or oil) in which a distillate is separated from the raw material palm-based fat and/or oil can be obtained through the above treatment.
- the distillate may contain fatty acid, monoglyceride, and/or diglyceride.

That is, the phase "the temperature condition for thin-film distillation treatment is 190 °C or more and 290°C or less" means that the temperature at an evaporation surface of a thin-film distillator is 190 °C or more and 290°C or less.
- the temperature condition for thin-film distillation treatment corresponds to an evaporator tube temperature when the thin-film distillation treatment is performed with a short-path distillator.
- a temperature condition of 155°C or more for thin-film distillation treatment can remove thermally unstable substances, high-boiling point substances, included in a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil while efficiently suppressing generation of a trace component such as glycidol, 3-MCPD, and fatty acid esters thereof in the raw material palm-based fat and/or oil.
- the temperature condition for thin-film distillation treatment is 190°C or more.
- a temperature condition of 290°C or less for thin-film distillation treatment enables efficient distillation of a fat and/or oil while suppressing generation of a trace component such as glycidol, 3-MCPD, and fatty acid esters thereof, which tend to be generated at a high temperature condition.
- the temperature condition for thin-film distillation treatment is preferably 270°C or less, more preferably 250°C or less.

- the processing time for thin-film treatment is related to the processing rate for thin-film treatment.
- the processing rate for thin-film treatment can be expressed in terms of the "oil feeding rate per unit area of an evaporation surface.”
- the term "oil feeding rate per unit area of an evaporation surface” as used herein refers to a value obtainable by dividing the feeding rate of a raw material palm-based oil/fat per hour by the area of the evaporation surface.
- the "oil feeding rate per unit area of an evaporation surface” in an embodiment of the present invention is 2.00 ⁇ 10 -3 L/h ⁇ cm 2 or more, preferably 7.00 ⁇ 10 -3 L/cm 2 or more in order to reduce heat effects on a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil. Further, the "oil feeding rate per unit area of an evaporation surface” is 10.0 ⁇ 10 -3 L/h.cm 2 or less in order to effect sufficient distillation.
- the types of thin-film distillation include molecular distillation which is performed under high vacuum ( ⁇ 0.1 Pa) and in which a condenser is arranged within a distance shorter than the mean free path of evaporating molecules; and short-path distillation which is performed at 0.1 Pa or more and in which a condenser is arranged at around a distance equal to the mean free path of evaporating molecules.
- the short-path distillation treatment is preferably performed in an embodiment of the present invention in view of high efficiency of distillation.
- a thin-film distillator used in thin-film distillation treatment evaporators of falling liquid film, centrifugal, rising liquid film, wiped film, may be used. Wiped film evaporators are preferred because the residence time of a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil within a thin-film distillator can be short enough to reduce heat effects on a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil.
- a material of an evaporation surface of a thin-film distillator but those made of glass or stainless steel may be used.
- timing to perform thin-film distillation treatment in a refinement step of a palm-based fat and/or oil is not particular limitation.
- a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil may be pre-treated through a refinement step other than thin-film distillation treatment, or unrefined.
- a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil pre-treated through a deodorizing step is preferred because the contents of glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, and fatty acid esters thereof, and diglyceride can be reduced more easily by thin-film distillation treatment.
- a raw material palm-based fat and/or oil without pre-treatment in a deodorizing step may also be used.
- the content of diglyceride may be reduced more easily by thin-film distillation treatment, and a deodorizing step may be then performed after the thin-film distillation treatment to effect more efficient reduction of the contents of glycidol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, and fatty acid esters thereof.
- thin-film distillation treatment may be performed at any timing after the respective refinement step (one or more of a degumming step, a deacidifying step, a water-washing step, a bleaching step, a deodorizing step, a fractionating step).
- the resulting fat and/or oil obtained after thin-film distillation treatment may be directly distributed as a refined palm-based fat and/or oil, or may be subjected to an additional refinement step.
