  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • The expanding process involves heating the cleaned soybeans to facilitate soybean oil extraction. This can be achieved through mechanical pressing or by using solvents like hexane. Mechanical pressing involves physically pressing the soybeans to release the oil, while solvent extraction is a more efficient method for large-scale production.
  • Can green solvents be used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The application of green solvents in soybean oil extraction is reviewed. Hansen parameters and COSMO-based models can serve as a solvent selection tool. Direct substitution of hexane with green solvents is the most promising alternative. Kinetic models and the thermodynamic assessment are analyzed comprehensively.
  • What are the by-products of refining soybean oil?
  • Refining of soybean oil, to make a neutral, bland-flavored, and light-colored oil, results in several by-products. The by-products consist of various mixtures of phosphatides, unsaponifiables, glycerides, free fatty acids, and soap. Lecithin contains mostly hydratable phosphatides, together with some free fatty acids and neutral oil (glycerides).
  • Which solvent is used in soybean oil production?
  • Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production. Hexane is currently the leading solvent in extraction , . This solvent has a high solubility for oil extraction, availability, low price, low boiling point, and heat of vaporization .
