  • How can process improvements improve the production of soybean oil?
  • Process improvements for the production of soybean oil were investigated. Energy savings by the individual and combined improvements are calculated, and result in a ∼50% reduction in steam consumption. Environmental benefits involve waste water reduction and a reduction of the CO 2 footprint.
  • 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.
  • Can soybean seed be used in a biorefinery?
  • Soybean straw or hulls could be used as fuel in boilers to supply energy for the process itself. Other reviews with different approaches concerning the use of soybean seed in a biorefinery platform can already be found in the scientific literature, such as the publications of Abdulkhani et al. and Loman and Ju [ 121, 122 ].
  • Can soybean oil refinery waste be recycled to produce biosurfactant?
  • Partovi, M., Lotfabad, T.B., Roostaazad, R., Bahmaei, M., Tayyebi, S.: Management of soybean oil refinery wastes through recycling them for producing biosurfactant using Pseudomonas aeruginosa MR01. World J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 29, 1039–1047 (2013)
  • 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.
  • How can oil be recovered from rapeseed & soy oil refining?
  • In the first of these studies, the oil was recovered from spent bleaching clay employed in palm, rapeseed, and soy oil refining processes. The oil was recovered from the spent bleaching earth using double extraction with n -hexane (1:1 w/w) and concentration under vacuum with a rotary evaporator.
