Abstract
A process for the separation, using an aqueous system, of liquid and solid triglycerides is improved by using an oil-soluble surface active agent, particularly an unsaturated C.sub.12-28 monoglyceride, and a water-soluble surface-active agent, particularly a decyl sulphate or a soap of a C.sub.6-10 saturated or a C.sub.12-28 unsaturated fatty acid. The soap is preferably solubilized in the triglycerides before the solid fraction is formed by cooling. The process gives better and more consistent yields of olein, particularly in low-temperature separations.
