  • What is solvent extraction of soybean oil?
  • The solvent extraction of soybean oil has become the most popular extraction method used across the globe. With a distinct advantage over traditional mechanical pressing, solvent extraction yields higher oil recovery and greater efficiency, leaving less than 1% residual oil in the meal.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • Yet, some operators overlook a critical step in their soybean oil extraction process to save significant time and energy. In solvent extraction, flaked soybeans are washed with hot solvent, typically hexane, to separate the solids from the fats. Multiple washes dissolve the oil and carry it away.
  • Can green solvents be used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The application of green solvents in soybean oil extraction is reviewed. Hansen parameters and COSMO-based models can serve as a solvent selection tool. Direct substitution of hexane with green solvents is the most promising alternative. Kinetic models and the thermodynamic assessment are analyzed comprehensively.
  • How is soybean oil extracted in a continuous and countercurrent process?
  • Extraction of soybean oil in a continuous and countercurrent process. Multistage extraction was experimentally reproduced from batch single-stage assays. The process efficiency was mainly limited by the oil solubility in the solvent. The minimum solvent mass flow and the number of ideal stages were calculated.
