Natural Vitamin E(Tocopherols), Carotene & Phytosterols Extraction Plant

Natural Vitamin E (Tocopherols), Carotene & Phytosterols Extraction Plant

A high-efficiency processing line engineered to recover natural Vitamin E (Tocopherols), carotene, and phytosterols from vegetable oil deodorizer distillate. Featuring advanced separation and purification technologies, this plant not only maximizes by-product utilization but also delivers high-purity, high-value nutritional outputs for industrial production.

Key Process of Natural Vitamin E (Tocopherols) Extraction Plant

1.Pretreatment

The Natural vitamin E extraction process begins with feedstock pretreatment of deodorizer distillate (DD), removing free fatty acids, gums, moisture, and solid impurities. This step stabilizes the feedstock, protects downstream equipment, and ensures higher recovery rates of tocopherols, carotene, and phytosterols while reducing solvent consumption.

2.Distillation

Utilizing multi-stage molecular distillation, the natural vitamin E extraction plant operates under low temperature and short heating time to preserve heat-sensitive compounds. Through optimized distillation strategies, Ocean’s extraction line has successfully increased tocopherols concentration from 2% to over 10%, with recovery yields exceeding 90% in industrial trials.

3.Purification

Advanced purification techniques including adsorption decolorization and solvent extraction are applied to achieve export-grade purity. The system ensures tocopherols, carotene, and phytosterol content meet international standards for use in supplements, functional foods, and cosmetics.

4.Separation and Recover

The Natural vitamin E (tocopherols) extraction plant achieves its final separation through controlled solvent crystallization and low-temperature recovery techniques, ensuring the efficient isolation of high-purity tocopherols, carotene, and phytosterols. This advanced separation step maximizes yield and consistency, delivering premium ingredients for downstream applications.
