We've all seen it...a bottle of oil in your kitchen cabinet or a tote in the warehouse where the lower portion of the container is a different color and looks kinda solid. Oils are made up of varying portions called fractions. Given the right conditions (usually cold), they want to separate. This process can also be done mechanically and/or chemically, which is called fractionation.
This week, a look at edible oil fractionation.
TTFN, Fred.
