Redgem logo

REDGEM is part of a unique 3-step process to mitigate 3MCPDE and GE in edible oils, but can be used alone as a 1-1 direct replacement for any bleaching clay, for immediate enhancements in 3MCPDE and GE mitigation. To find out more about the full 3-step process, click here.

 

REDGEM is comparable in price to other bleaching earths, but offers many additional advantages, most notably a significant reduction in the pre-cursors of 3MCPDE and GE. 

 

This leads to major cost savings overall, as expensive additional processes are normally required to reduce the pre-cursors of 3MCPDE and GE to meet EFSA standards.

​

Key Advantages

​

  • Reduces pre-cursors of 3MCPDE & GE: 2-3 PPM lower than other bleaching clays

  • Lower oil loss in spent earth

  • Same or better RBDPO quality - colour and M&I

  • No change required at bleaching plant: 1:1 direct replacement

  • No CAPEX or OPEX required in switching to REDGEM, no additional requirements

  • Comparable price to bleaching clay/ earth, but increased functionality.

What is REDGEM?

 

REDGEM is a unique, proprietary formulation of natural minerals and carbon, which act as a direct replacement for bleaching earth/clay in edible oil refining and other applications.

FAQs

​

What are REDGEM’s benefits?

​

REDGEM gives a 2-3 PPM reduction in both 3MCPDE and GE as well as a reduction in oil loss in spent earth. It provides a cost-effective alternative to other bleaching clays/earth and enables refineries to reach the high standards required for baby/infant food for a much lower cost.

​

What grades of REDGEM are available?

 

Two grades of REDGEM are available in Europe:

​

  • REDGEM - a cost-effective direct replacement for existing bleaching earth with the added advantage of reducing 3MCPDE and GE in refined vegetable oils by 2-3 PPM.

  • REDGEM PLUS - this enhanced grade of REDGEM is specifically targeted at refineries that already have 3MCPDE and GE mitigation in place, but would like to achieve the more challenging standards for baby/infant food specification at a cost effective price.

​

What certifications does REDGEM have?

 

REDGEM has all the necessary certifications for use in food safety and edible oil refining, including ISO 22000, as well as Kosher and Halal certifications.

​

How is spent REDGEM disposed of?

 

REDGEM can be disposed of in exactly the same way as any other spent bleaching earth.

​

Is technical support available in Europe?

​

Yes, SUMWIN has full technical support available.
