Why does soybean oil quality vary by origin?
Soybean oil quality varies by origin. These variations are due to the geographic location where the whole soybeans were grown, storage conditions and handling prior to processing. Variations in the quality of CDSBO can lead to a longer, more costly refining process, while simultaneously lowering refining yields.
What is crude degummed soybean oil (cdsbo)?
Crude degummed soybean oil (CDSBO) must be refined to produce high-quality soybean oil that is suitable for human use and many industrial uses. The traditional method to refine CDSBO is called caustic refining. This method uses a chemical process to refine CDSBO and produce refined, bleached and deodorized soybean oil (RBD SBO).
