The present invention relates to a method for production of two types of edible oils, an oil type with high diacylglycerol content (DAG oil) containing at least 8 wt % diacylglycerol and another oil type with low diacylglycerol content (TAG oil) containing less than 8 wt % diacylglycerol, from a vegetable oil. The method comprises subjecting a vegetable oil to at least one stage of short-path distillation under vacuum level of not more than 0.01 Torr and at temperature of not more than 300°C, wherein DAG oil is obtained as distillate and whereas TAG oil is obtained as residue. |
