Edible Oils
Purifying edible oils requires precise filtration to remove contaminants that affect quality, safety, color and oxidative stability. Puragen provides powder activated carbon (PAC) to enhance the taste, color and purity of edible oils.
Puragen’s advanced PAC filtration media seamlessly integrate into refining processes and help manufacturers meet stringent food safety regulations while maintaining the natural flavor and stability of edible oils.

Contaminants we remove
Puragen’s edible oils products effectively remove a wide range of unwanted taste, odor and color compounds, as well as other potential contaminants. Purification improves flavor, prevents rancidity and enhances clarity in vegetable oils, palm oil, fish oil and specialty fats.
We help manufacturers meet global food safety standards (including the EU Regulation No 2023/915, FDA GRAS and Food Chemical Codex requirements), extend shelf life and ensure consistent quality for food products.
- Fatty acids
Removal of glycidyl fatty acid esters (or GEs) precursors of harmful MCPD, a suspected carcinogen - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Removal of benzopyrenes, chrysene and benzo alpha anthracene - Persistent organic pollutants
Removal of pollutants such as dioxins, furans and PAHs in fish oils - Chlorophyll and color impurities
Removal of unwanted substances that affect the appearance, stability and shelf life of final products
Activated carbon products for Edible Oils
The majority of customers choose powdered activated carbon for edible oil purification—though we can provide a range of different carbon filtration media depending on each requirement.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
Our FiltraPure® SK1® range is widely used across this sector and highly regarded for its fast-acting treatment for batch filtration and high-precision contaminant removal.
