Start year 2021 End year 2023 Funding (€) € 446,036 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901666/ Summary The pelagic industry wants to be able to offer the market a clear herring oil for human consumption. To achieve a clear oil, a so-called cold clarification process is carried out. Cold clarification can mainly be carried out in three ways: dry fractionation - without the use of process aids, Lanza fractionation - use of a detergent-containing water solution, and wet fractionation - use of organic solvents where crystallization then takes place in the olein phase with added solvent. The effectiveness of the cold clarification process is affected by several factors: composition of fatty acids and positioning of fatty acids with a high melting point on TG, purity of the oil - content of unwanted components in the oil, crystallization temperature, cooling rate and separation method.
Main objective:
To develop an efficient industrial process to obtain a clear herring oil at refrigeration temperature (down to 2°C).
Sub-goals:
1. To investigate and test alternative technologies and methods to traditional cold clarification (winterization) or filter press.
2. To develop a new process, technology, or optimize existing methods with the aim of achieving better efficiency and higher yields than existing methods.
3. To ensure that the developed method is adapted to current requirements for HSE and cleaning, and can be implemented in existing facilities.
4. To ensure that finished goods will satisfy the market's requirements for clear oils for human consumption.
