Refined Oils

Refined oils are most often obtained by solvent extraction from raw
material containing a low level of lipids. Then the crude oil is refined.

The refining includes four stages :

Demucilagination (to remove phospholipids).
Neutralization (to remove free acidity).
Discoloration and deodorization.

Bertin’s Refined oils have been studied and developed for their hight level content in polyunsatured fatty acids and their interesting properties in cosmetic.
However, these polyunsatured fatty acids are fragile and sensitive to oxidation; this is why only a moderate refining makes it possible to preserve them.
