Why are soybean oil extraction yields lower than green beans?

For example, oil extraction yields from fresh soybeans can be lower than for soybeans stored more than five months. The storage of soybeans also decreases the chlorophyll content of green beans. Chlorophyll is not desirable in edible oils and needs to be removed during the oil refining process.

How are seeds prepared for oil extraction?

Unit operations for preparation of seeds for oil extraction vary slightly depending on the physical properties and oil content (Figure 1). However, most oilseeds go through the process of cleaning, drying dehulling, size reduction, flaking cooking and tempering.

What is the second largest source of oil?

The second largest source of plant oils includes coconut, palm, olive and tung oil. In the United States, oilseeds are shipped like any other grain, either in railroad cars or trucks, and received at elevators. Physical properties of the seeds, such as size, shape, bulk density and flowability affect the design of oilseed handling facilities.

What are the industry standards for soybean hulling?

The industry standards for soybeans are less than 3.5 percent fiber content remaining in the meal and less than 1.5 percent oil content remaining in the hull. Suppliers of dehulling equipment include Buhler, Crown Iron Works, De Smet, Kice Industries, Inc., Rotex and Carter Day.
