Abstract
A method of purifying a rendered fat by contacting the rendered fat with at least one adsorbent material, such as magnesium silicate. The at least one adsorbent material may be used alone or in combination with other purifying materials, such as an acid. Such method provides for improved removal of impurities, such as polyethylene, phosphorus-containing compounds, chlorophyll, metals, soap, and sterol glucosides from the rendered fat.
