Oil Modification Solutions
Mehar Engineering provides advanced Oil Modification Plants that help manufacturers improve the physical and functional properties of edible oils and fats to meet specific product requirements. By modifying the structure and composition of triglycerides, oils can be transformed into products with the desired melting point, texture, stability, and performance for a wide range of food applications.
Our complete turnkey solutions include Hydrogenation, Fractionation, and Interesterification processes, all designed to deliver high efficiency, consistent product quality, and reliable operation.
Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is a process in which hydrogen is added to unsaturated fatty acids in the presence of a catalyst. This converts liquid vegetable oils into semi-solid or solid fats with improved oxidative stability and a controlled melting point.
Hydrogenated oils are widely used in the production of margarine, shortening, bakery fats, confectionery fats, and other specialty food products that require enhanced texture and longer shelf life.
Fractionation
Fractionation is a physical separation process that divides oil into two main components: stearin (solid fraction) and olein (liquid fraction) through controlled cooling and crystallization.
This process allows manufacturers to produce specialty oils and fats with specific melting characteristics, making them suitable for applications such as cooking oils, margarine, bakery products, confectionery, cocoa butter alternatives, and specialty fats.
Interesterification
Interesterification is a chemical or enzymatic process that rearranges the fatty acids within triglycerides without changing the overall fatty acid composition. This improves the melting profile, enhances oxidative stability, and creates fats with superior functional properties.
The process is commonly used to manufacture trans-fat-free margarine, bakery fats, low-fat spreads, confectionery fats, and other value-added edible oil products that require precise texture and performance.
