LB Processors' Emu Oil Process

LB Processors, LLC is a state of the art Food and Drug State approved process facility for Specialty Oils for the cosmetic and dietary supplement industry with the main product being emu oil. We offer toll processing, sell in bulk, and have retail sales on an internet website.

We have a custom designed process which keeps the oil from separating into two layers.  Our process, physical refining, is accepted as an all natural edible oil process in the food industry.  Over 100.8 million metric tons of vegetable oils are processed globally through the physical or chemical refining process that removes all contaminates that are harmful.  No additional processing is done or needed.  Sound research has shown that oil processed this way is safe and sterile. We developed our process based on this research.

LB Processors, LLC uses an All Natural Process

LB Processors has developed a natural process that produces oil that is recognized in the market place for its quality.

The fat is specially handled through a rendering process that cleans and prepares the oil for final processing. This step is very important. We have found that if the fat is not properly rendered then the oil will not be a top grade. The color and stability can be affected.

Emu oil, being low on soaps (Formed by Free Fatty Acids) chemical refining is not normally used. A process called physical refining does a good job of preserving the activity and purifies the oil with no odor.

Physical refining uses natural clays to absorb impurities, known as the Bleaching step.

After bleaching, the oil is deodorized to remove oxidized components.  

LB Processors uses a vacuum deodorizer. This technology is used most widely in food processing and has the longest history at being the most effective and efficient at producing the safest product. The Vacuum Deodorizer brings the oil to proper temperatures to insure sterilization. Being from an animal source, it is very important that emu oil is brought up to an acceptable temperature for a period of time to insure that any viruses, infections or bacteria that may have been picked up at the meat processing plant or other sources is removed.                           

Through our final process, our finished emu oil is handled specially to insure a creamy product with no separation. The whole process is done under GMP (General Manufacturing Practices) for food products. We have a small Lab on site to be able to perform process testing. This enables us to have a more consistent product by being able to adjust the process to the characteristics of the oil. All of our emu oil is processed according to the AEA Trade Rules and carries the American Emu Association Certified Fully Refined Seal. 

LB Processor’s emu oil is certified by the AEA (American Emu Association) as being Fully Refined. To meet these standards the oil has to be tested and approved by a certified AOCS chemist. Below is a table of specs for these rules:
