In palm oil production, bleaching is a key refining step to improve the color and remove impurities such as carotenoids, chlorophyll, and trace metals. Bleaching earth is mixed with the crude palm oil at elevated temperatures, and the oil is then filtered to remove the adsorbents and impurities, resulting in a clearer, higher-quality oil.
