| dc.description.abstract | The tocopherols are valuable components of deodorizer distillate. Due to the limitations in the existing extraction methods, it is imperative that new processing parameters for extraction and concentration of tocopherols from deodorizer distillate be developed. For this purpose, an analytical method for the determination of both tocopherols and tocopherol succinates simultaneously was developed. Crystallization, flat-sheet membrane separation, and a combined process were evaluated. Individual steps of the combined process were defined. They were: 1). Crystallization of deodorizer distillate; 2). Succination; 3). Membrane separation; and 4). Second stage membrane separation. The succination process converted over 90% of the tocopherols to tocopherol succinates. Crystallization and flat-sheet membrane separations increased tocopherols concentration about 2% and 6%, respectively. The final tocopherols concentration in the combined process was twice that of the original tocopherol sample. | en |
