Abstract
A method of producing a low-fat product from a starting material made of a fat and/or oil containing plant- or animal item includes providing the starting material at a temperature of at least 35° C. and extracting a greater part of the extractable oil and/or fat originally contained in the plant or animal item from the starting material using a first decanter centrifuge. The first decanter centrifuge leaves a residue of solids and liquids. The residue forms the low-fat product.
