  • 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 the cost of processing soymeal?
  • Among all processing technologies, soymeal produced by supercritical CO2 extraction methods preserves the bioactive component; however, the cost of processing is approximately USD 88/kg of oil, and a substantial amount of energy (11.8 CO-eq/Kg of oil) is consumed during processing ( del Valle, 2015 ).
  • What are some by-products produced during the processing of primary soy products?
  • There are some by-products produced during the processing of primary soy products, such as soy oil, soymilk, tofu, soy yogurt, and many others. The soymeal, hull, soy-whey, soy flakes, and okara are the main by/waste products produced by the soy food processing industry.
  • 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.
