High-FFA oils are some of the most difficult feedstocks to refine efficiently.

Traditional caustic refining often leads to:
• Emulsification issues
• Yield losses
• Compromised product quality

At , we’re presenting a different approach:
🧪 Deacidification of High-Acidity Edible Oils
📅 Monday, May 4 | 3:55–4:15 PM
📍 Empire C

Using fiber reactor-based microfluidics, we demonstrate:
• Suppressed emulsification
• Effective FFA removal
• Improved process stability

🥥 Cleaner, better-tasting oils—powered by fiber and enzymes?
At Visionary Fiber Technologies, we're reinventing how edible oils like soybean, corn, and palm are refined. Using thousands of micro-scale fiber channels and natural enzymes, our reactors gently strip away unwanted gums and contaminants—no harsh chemicals, no high heat.

🧪 One pass through our system took crude soybean oil from 600 ppm phosphorus to under 10—in minutes.

We're helping producers deliver cleaner, longer-lasting, and more appealing oils to consumers around the world.
