Abstract
A process for dry fractionation of fats and oils, by providing a fat-and-oil feedstock having an SFI at 20.degree. C. of at least 15; pre-cooling the fat-and-oil feedstock to a temperature of, at the highest, 3.degree. C. higher than that of a cooling medium to be used for crystallization; allowing the pre-cooled fat-and-oil feedstock to stand while further cooling the feedstock with the cooling medium to form fat crystals and to obtain cakes containing fat crystals; and subjecting the cakes to separation of solids from a liquid phase.
