3.2. FFA removal from olive oil deodorizer distillate
The OODD used in this work was analyzed in terms of composition
and total fatty acid profile (see Tables 1 and 2). The results
are comparable with previous results published in the literature
[1]. It is also observed the high content of FFA reaching almost
40 wt.%. As expected, oleic acid was the major fatty acid detected
in OODD samples comprising about 60% of all fatty acids
