Better Yield of Extraction | More working capacity | Cleaner olive oil | Minimum dosage
TALCOIL is commercialised as an authorised processing aid by the EU to improve the extraction of virgin olive oil.
TALCOIL consists of natural micro-talc which is an effective solution when difficult paste presents. The totality of TALCOIL is pure talc, which joined to its high micronisation, it guarantees a product with excellent results when it comes to difficult pastes. Talcoil is regarded as a superfine talc.
THE PROBLEM: DIFFICULT PASTES
Sometimes, and due to different circumstances subjected by the olive fruit during the growing season, the extraction of virgin olive oil can become difficult if the fruit has been subjected to excess moisture.
During the stage of malaxing the olive paste sometimes does not have the appropriate structure and/or consistency to carry out proper extraction. An emulsion may appear and the phases of liquid and solid are not easy to separate. When is happens, a considerable amount of olive oil is lost in solid phase and it goes out with the pomace/waste. As a result, the yield of extraction is lower than normal which causes important economical loss in the manufacturing process.

THE SOLUTION: TALCOIL
TALCOIL breaks the emulsion which origins the difficult paste so the olive oil can be released and it is then easier to separate. A very low dose of TALCOIL gets outstanding results. The expense in natural microtalc is nothing in comparison to the profit due to increase the yield of extraction. The usage of natural microtalc is regulated by the EU and by many studies that prove its effectiveness.
