What is a soybean processing facility?
A soybean processing facility, in which refined oil, soy protein concentrate and soy protein isolate are produced, generates residues that if undergo additional industrial operations may result in new products with commercial value.
Can soybean seed be used in a biorefinery?
Soybean straw or hulls could be used as fuel in boilers to supply energy for the process itself. Other reviews with different approaches concerning the use of soybean seed in a biorefinery platform can already be found in the scientific literature, such as the publications of Abdulkhani et al. and Loman and Ju [ 121, 122 ].
