PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an edible oil capable of reducing an acid value and colors even when deodorizing oil-and-fat at a relatively low temperature for reducing a trans-fatty acid, and to provide the edible oil.SOLUTION: The method for producing an edible oil includes a decolorization process of decoloring the fat and oil using 1-2 mass% of activated clay to the oil-and-fat and 1-3 mass% of acid clay to the oil-and-fat at the same time and a deodorization process of deodorizing the oil-and-fat at a temperature within a range of 200-230°C.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】トランス脂肪酸低減のために比較的低温で油脂の脱臭を行なっても、酸価の低減及び色の低減ができる食用油脂の製造方法及び食用油脂を提供する。【解決手段】油脂に対して活性白土1~2質量%及び油脂に対して酸性白土1~3質量%を同時に用いて油脂の脱色を行う脱色工程と、200~230℃の範囲内の温度で前記油脂の脱臭を行う脱臭工程とを含む食用油脂の製造方法。【選択図】なし
