  • What industries use soybeans?
  • In the United States, a significant proportion of soybeans is used for the animal feed industry, followed by human food, nutraceutical, and other industrial purposes. Soybean processing industries generate a huge number of by-products during the processing of primary soy-based products.
  • What is soybean oil used for?
  • Soybean oil, a vegetable oil used in cooking, biodiesel production, and making of biodegradable plastics and adhesives, is one of the main by-products of soybean processing. Click here to learn about all the different ways the global supply chain uses soybeans. Many NOPA members have co-located processing plants and refineries.
  • What is soybean meal used for?
  • Soybean meal is a high protein vegetable product used by animal feed millers, the soy protein industry, and increasingly, by consumer goods manufacturers as well as in industrial applications. Soybean oil, the other processing by-product, is a vegetable oil used in cooking, biodiesel production and making of biodegradable plastics and adhesives.
  • How is soybean meal produced?
  • Soybean meal is produced by different processing methods such as solvent extraction (soybean flakes 1.5% oil), and mechanical extraction by screw press (soymeal press cake >5% oil). Soymeal accounts for 62.5% of total oil meal and it also represents the 61% protein source to feed livestock (A. et al., 2011).
  • 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.
  • 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.
