Deodorized distillate (DD oil) has good application prospects and the current market is relatively concentrated.

Deodorized distillate (DD oil) is a by-product of oil refining. With the continuous advancement of industrial technology and the continuous improvement of the oil refining industry chain, the value of DD oil has been valued. It is used to produce natural VE, phytosterols, and fatty acid methyl esters, and is used in medicine, food, chemicals, health products, and cosmetics. and other fields.

DD oil is the distillate obtained by deodorization and vacuum extraction during the refining process of soybean oil, which is rich in VE and phytosterols. my country’s soybean oil production shows a continuous growth trend. In 2020, soybean oil production was 17.77 million tons, while consumption was 18.6 million tons. It can be seen from this that the supply and demand of soybean oil in my country is unbalanced, and soybean oil production will continue to rise in the future. With the increase in soybean oil production, the production of DD oil as an accessory product has also increased, and the industry has developed rapidly.

Natural VE mainly comes from DD oil. Compared with artificial VE, natural VE has the advantages of high safety, good absorption efficiency by the human body, and higher nutritional value. It meets the requirements of domestic residents for healthy food, so natural VE is favored by the market. Taking the feed field as an example, my country’s natural VE market demand in 2020 is 5,000 tons, while the global feed industry’s demand for natural VE is 23,000 tons. Benefiting from the growth in demand for natural VE, the DD oil industry has developed rapidly.

The DD oil processing industry has a high technical threshold. Relevant companies not only need to have extraction technology to ensure product quality and yield, but also need to have the ability to further process and purify. DD oil contains complex ingredients, and a variety of active ingredients can correspond to different application fields.

According to the“Deodorized Distillate (DD Oil) Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2022-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that in terms of market competition, the early domestic DD oil deep processing market was mainly occupied by foreign companies. Overseas companies such as BASF and Cargill had technological leadership and a relatively high share of the domestic market. As the world’s major grain and oil refining country, my country has the advantages of raw materials and relatively low labor costs. Therefore, the deep processing of global DD oil has gradually moved to China, and domestic companies have risen rapidly. At present, the largest domestic DD oil deep processing companies include COFCO Tianke, Fengyi Biotech, Kenai Biotech, and Granny Biotech. At present, most DD oil deep processing companies are oil refining companies, which have a complete industrial chain, low production costs, and are more competitive in the market.

Industry analysts said that DD oil is an accessory to oil refining and is mainly used for the production of natural VE. In the context of health, The market demand for natural VE continues to rise, driving the rapid development of the DD oil industry. DD oil mainly comes from the soybean oil refining process. In recent years, my country’s soybean oil market demand has continued to rise, which is good for the development of the DD oil industry. Most of the DD oil production companies in the current market are affiliated processing companies of large vegetable oil refining companies. They have raw material advantages and low production costs, making them more competitive in the market.
