ROHALASE OS can be applied at room temperature and simply be sprayed on to the seeds. The formulation of ROHALASE OS is tailored for use “as such”, so no dilution or formulation steps need to be taken.
Heat stable up to 80-85° C the use of ROHALASE OS results in higher yields, reduced amount of oil in press cake, lower temperature at the press head and reduced energy costs. Also, using this method, oil degumming with ROHALASE MPL becomes more effective due to higher removal of phospholipids.
