  • How is soybean oil made?
  • To produce soybean oil, the soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture content, heated to between 60 and 88 °C (140 and 190 °F), rolled into flakes, and solvent-extracted with hexanes. The oil is then refined, blended for different applications, and sometimes hydrogenated.
  • How much soybean oil is produced worldwide?
  • In the 2002–2003 growing season, 30.6 million tons (MT) of soybean oil were produced worldwide, constituting about half of worldwide edible vegetable oil production, and thirty percent of all fats and oils produced, including animal fats and oils derived from tropical plants.
  • 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 soybean oil a good oil?
  • During a typical year soybean production comprises over half the worldwide oilseed production (Anonymous 1995). However, according to Dutton (1981) in the early 1940s, soybean oil was considered a poor quality oil, not suitable for food use, and more appropriate for use in industrial paints.
  • What are the recent advances in soybean oil bodies?
  • This review covers recent advances in soybean oil bodies, focusing on structure and composition (e.g., neutral and polar lipids, intrinsic and extrinsic proteins, and minor bioactive components), extraction techniques, and their implications for the stability and integrity of SOBs.
  • What is modern soybean oil?
  • Modern soy oil is a stable high quality triglyceride ingredient used widely in commercial processed foods. It is without other lipid contaminants and available at a reasonable cost. Modern soybean processing starts with solvent extraction to obtain crude oil and defatted meal.
