A PROCESS FOR REFINING AND FRACTIONATING FATTY MATERIALS WHICH COMPRISES SUBJECTING A SOLUTION OF THE FATTY MATERIAL IN A NORMALLY GASEOUS HYDROCARBON SOLVENT TO TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONDITIONS TO CAUSE A SEPARATION OF A HEAVIER LIQUID PHASE CONTAINING IMPURITIES AND A LIGHTER LIQUID PHASE CONTAINING DECOLORIZED FATTY MATERIAL, SEPARATING SAID PHASES, REDUCING THE PRESSURE TO VAPORIZE A PORTION OF SAID HYDROCARBON FROM THE LIGHTER LIQUID PHASE WHILE SUPPLYING HEAT TO AVOID COOLING BELOW ABOUT 100* F., CHILLING THE DECOLORIZED FATTY MATERIAL BY VAPORIZING A FURTHER QUANTITY OF THE NORMALLY GASEOUS HYDROCARBON TO A TEMPERATRE SUFFICIENTLY LOW TO CRYSTALLIZE THE HIGHER MELTING CONSITUENTS OF SAID FATTY MATERIAL AND THEN FILTERING THE MIXTURE TO SEPARATE SAID HIGHER MELTING POINT CONSISTUENTS.
