INFLUENCE OF THE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY PROCESS ON PROPERTIES OF RAPESEED OIL

Abstract

The article presents results of research regarding the possibility of changing the properties of rapeseed oil thanks to applying diverse press techniques. The main objective of the study was to determine the impact of press parameters and the process of its cleaning on performance and contents of fatty acids in order to get the best parameters of rapeseed oil for fuel purposes. To analyse the ecological diesel engine, analysis shows the results of the quantities of impurities (phosphorus compounds, iodine and water). The research was conducted for oil obtained from six varieties of rapeseed. The parameters of press techniques have a small impact on the contents of individual fatty acids. However, changes of the content of the chemical compounds are dependent on the press parameters to a large extent.

Keywords: chemical compounds, parameters, rapeseed oil
