Investigation of the ultrasonic treatment influence on physical and chemical indicators of vegetable oil distillates

Abstract

The article presents research in the field of influence of ultrasonic vibrations on distillates of vegetable oils, in particular rapeseed and sunflower. In the course of the research, the main physico-chemical indices of distillates of vegetable oils were determined after their sonication. A laboratory facility for carrying out experimental work is described. According to the test results, the intensity of ultrasonic radiation is determined to produce distillates with new qualitative indices. The results of these studies indicate that the use of ultrasonic technologies in the processing of rapeseed and sunflower oil distillates improves the quality of the latter, and also extends the scope of their subsequent processing.
