  • How is soybean meal produced?
  • Soybean meal is produced after the extraction of oil from soybean seed using several processing operations (Fig. 2.1 ). Processing steps like cleaning, smashing, de-hulling, conditioning, flaking, and mechanical or solvent extraction steps have been followed in soybean oil processing plants to extract oil.
  • What is the preparatory section in the soybean oil manufacturing process?
  • First comes the preparatory section in the soybean oil manufacturing process. It marks the initial stage where raw soybeans are processed to make them ready for oil extraction. Upon arrival at an oil mill, seeds often contain various foreign materials acquired during harvesting or transportation.
  • Why is process improvement important in soybean extraction plants?
  • Process improvement in extraction plants has continued with increasing emphasis on energy efficiency, cost reduction, reducing hexane loss, quality of meal and oil, and increased capacity, driven by a six-fold increase in soybean production since 1950 and by an increase in energy costs since 1970.
  • Why is soybean oil becoming a feedstock for industrial products?
  • However, more stringent environmental standards, rising costs for competing petroleum-derived products, ability to tailor soybean oil for improved performance properties, and more cost effective chemical conversion processes are leading to increased attention on soybean oil as a feedstock for industrial products.
