Abstract
The invention is a packet for the cleansing of edible oils, and a method of using that packet. The packet comprises a sealed enclosure formed of a porous or perforated, polymeric material. The ground rind from a fruit, such as granulated grapefruit peelings, are inserted into that enclosure. The method comprises immersion of the porous or perforated, fruit peeling-containing polymeric packet into the edible oil. The porous or perforated packet is retained in the edible oil for at least five minutes. During the time that the packet is immersed, the edible oil can flow through the porous or perforated polymeric packet and contact the citrus peelings within that packet. At the end of the appropriate time period, the porous or perforated polymeric packet is removed from the edible oil.
