Review demonstrates improved oil quality in vegetable oils using innovative deacidification methods, suggesting enhanced sustainability.

Key Points

This review analyzes the latest methods for deacidifying vegetable oils, focusing on efficiency, sustainability, and oil quality.
Comparison of conventional and emerging deacidification techniques like enzymatic esterification and membrane filtration
Assessment of energy consumption, nutrient preservation, and free fatty acids reduction
Discussion on the barriers and advantages of different methods
Enzymatic deacidification can reduce free fatty acids by over 90% while preserving valuable nutrients like phytosterols.
Membrane processes are energy-efficient but present challenges in scaling up for industrial use.
Emerging methods operate under milder conditions, retaining antioxidants and reducing reliance on synthetic additives.
