Abstract
Oil or fat is deodorized by contacting with steam. The oil or fat is finely distributed in a vacuum contact zone by spray means whereupon it contacts a steam vapor. The contacted oil or fat is then recycled in the same contact zone, finely distributed, and once again contacted with the steam vapor. The steam efficiently removes flavoring and scenting components and free fatty acids normally present in natural fats and oils.
