In a short span of time, Ashapura's Bleaching Earth has made a huge impact in the edible oil refining segment due to its high quality standards, global networks and cost-effectiveness.

Galleon Grade: Bleaching Earth of highest bleachability and filterability for difficult-to-bleach oil fats and oils such as Castor, Palm, Linseed, Rapeseed, Fish, Soyabean, Cottonseed, Rice Bran and Olive. It exhibits high performance in both Chemical and Physical refining of edible oil.

Higher Bleaching Efficiency
Effective removal of chlorophyll, carotenes and other coloring pigments.

Lower Dosage
Higher active surface area results in improved bleaching capacity using less quantity of clay.

Higher Absorbing Capacity
Effectively removes soap content, phosphatides, peroxides and metal traces due to large pore diameter, pore volume and surface area.

Toxin Free
Contains no mineral acids that can damage the oil.

Dioxin & Heavy Metals Free
Confirms to the FEDIOL standards of the EU.

Captive Reserves
Consistent supply of quality raw material from captive reserves estimated at 34 Million MT.
