  • What is a soybean processing facility?
  • A soybean processing facility, in which refined oil, soy protein concentrate and soy protein isolate are produced, generates residues that if undergo additional industrial operations may result in new products with commercial value.
  • How is soybean processed?
  • Modern soybean processing starts with solvent extraction to obtain crude oil and defatted meal. Most defatted meal is used for animal feed and only a small portion is further processed into different types of soy protein products for human consumption (see Chapter 8). Crude oil contains variable amounts of nontriglyceride materials.
  • Is degumming necessary for refining soybean oil?
  • Degumming is not essential for the refining process, and it is common practice for many processors to refine crude soybean oil without degumming (2). Soapstock from refining nondegummed oil is much greater in quantity than that from degummed oil and has a higher content of phosphatides, which would have been removed in degumming.
  • 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).
  • What are the uses of soybean oil residues in a biorefinery?
  • Residues obtained during soybean oil extraction, as well as the ones obtained from refining and from concentration of proteins, can generate products with commercial value and/or be used to provide energy for the biorefinery itself.
  • Why is soybean oil a commercial product?
  • The processes of soybean oil extraction and the concentration of its proteins generate large quantities of residues with components that have commercial value. These residues can be sold with almost no further processing, at a low price (as feed, for instance), or they can be transformed and/or purified in order to increase their value.
