  • Why is soybean production increasing in Malaw i?
  • Soybean production in Malaw i has had a sudden boost in the past 3-4 years as the global and local demand has continued to rise because of the versatility of these beans. Malawi is among the top 40 producers of soybean in the world according to Malawi Investment and Trade Centre. Soybean is rich in protein, vegetable oil and essential minerals.
  • Is epoxidized soybean oil a viable alternative to phthalates?
  • The chemical industry currently faces daunting challenges due to the non-renewable nature of petroleum-based sub-stances. Studies have shown that epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) can be used as a viable alternative to phthalates as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers since ESO is derived from renewable resources (Barcena et al. 2017, Benecke
  • What is epoxidation of soybean oil?
  • In the case of epoxidation of soybean oil, the formation of the epoxide functional groups is formed on a double bond that is located between two methylene groups in the fatty acid chains. Moreover, the peak signals from ?62.13 to ?77.86?ppm indicated the complete conversion to double bonds.
  • How does epoxidation affect the pH of soybean oil samples?
  • The acidic protons released from DES02 and DES06 catalysts during soybean oil epoxidations were responsible for decreasing pH of the ESO samples ( Khundamri et al., 2019 ). However, pHs of all washed ESO samples slightly increased compared to pH of all non-washed ESO samples.
