Industry | n. m.

A process whereby the pulp and olive-pit residues found in the oily phase are removed by means of a vibrating sieve, in order to facilitate the subsequent liquid-liquid separation.

Example

Olive pulp is the remainder of olive cake (the raw material resulting from extraction of olive oil) after the removal of the seed fractions. It can be achieved by sieving the dry olive cake to separate most of the seeds.

Additional information

this is an essential process to ensure oil quality, since unremoved solid remains may cause it to deteriorate.
