Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Edible hydrogenated oil manufacturing workers are specialized workers who produce hardened oil by adding hydrogen to oils and fats. They operate production equipment, manage quality, and maintain safety and hygiene.
Description
Edible hydrogenated oil manufacturing workers handle the process of adding hydrogen to plant oils containing unsaturated fatty acids, such as soybean oil or rapeseed oil, using catalysts to produce hardened oil. They perform a series of tasks from raw material preparation, setting reaction conditions, temperature and pressure management, catalyst replenishment and recovery, deodorization and decolorization of the generated oil, to quality inspection, while ensuring safety management and compliance with product standards. They monitor automated equipment and control systems, responding quickly to abnormalities.
Future Outlook
As production methods shift in response to consumer health concerns and trans fatty acid regulations, there will be a demand for advanced process development and quality management, while automation is expected to improve production efficiency.
