Oils, vegetable, deodorizer distillates is a complex combination obtained by distillation of various vegetable oils in a deodorizer, followed by condensation of the vapor. The composition of this substance varies depending on the vegetable oil feedstock type and the process efficiency of the deodorizer. It is composed of 0-80% glycerides and 15-95% fatty acids (including their esters), 0-40% unsaponifiable matter, e.g. tocopherols, sterols, sterol esters and hydrocarbons, e.g. squalene. The glycerides and fatty acids are characterised by alkyl chain lengths between C8 and C18, including C18-unsatd. and the exact distribution also depends on the vegetable oil feedstock.

The REVODS Consortium prepared the following Specification for the identification and generic composition of the substance. For additional information on the substance, please refer to the generic webpage for distillates substances and other derivatives mentionned above.

The following company is the Lead Registrant: Olenex Edible Oils GmbH Werk Noblee
