  • How to extract soybean oil?
  • Soybean oil can be obtained by expelling or using an organic solvent. Although, the employment of solvent will always follow the expelling to increase lipid extraction yield .
  • Which solvent is used in soybean oil production?
  • Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production. Hexane is currently the leading solvent in extraction , . This solvent has a high solubility for oil extraction, availability, low price, low boiling point, and heat of vaporization .
  • What process is used in soybean oil production?
  • During this step, some unsaturated fatty acids are converted into monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids to make them more stable to oxidation. Deodorization removes free fatty acids and volatile compounds from the feedstock . Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production.
  • What is deodorization in soybean oil production?
  • Deodorization removes free fatty acids and volatile compounds from the feedstock . Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production. Hexane is currently the leading solvent in extraction , .
  • Can soybean oil be extracted with ethanol?
  • Still, the soybean oil extraction using the same method with ethanol was performed by Rodrigues et al. . The results were almost similar to those obtained in Soxhlet extraction. The PLE using isopropanol and ethanol as a solvent for extracting nut kernel oil was performed by Cornelio-Santiago et al. .
  • 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.
