Refined Soybean Oil
Refined Soybean Oil
Refined Soybean Oil for edible, nutritional and industrial applications.
Product Description
The flaked soybean when subjected to solvent extraction, its oil is leached out along with solvent, i.e., hexane in form of miscella. In distillation section, the solvent is recovered back in multi-stage system and Solvent Extracted Soybean Oil is obtained. This oil is sent to the storage tank as Solvent Extracted Soybean Oil (SEO). Some other components viz. phospholipids, colored pigments, minor volatile compounds etc. also get extracted along with soybean oil during the solvent extraction process. These compounds remain undesirable when the oil is used for edible purposes and some of the industrial applications. Therefore, the Solvent Extracted Soybean Oil undergoes a multi stage refining process comprising degumming, neutralization, bleaching and deodorization. During the refining process, all the undesirable components are eliminated and finish oil is stored as Refined Soybean Oil (RSO).
Intended Uses
Solvent Extracted Soybean oil is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids, and tocopherols & sterols. It is mainly used in manufacturing Refined Soybean Oil. However, it has many usages in producing industrial products like anti-corrosion agents, anti-static agents, caulking compounds, core oils, crayons, dust control agents, electrical insulations, fungicides, pesticides, paints, hydraulic fluids, printing inks, linoleum, baking lubricants, metal casting/working, oiled fabrics, paints, plasticizers, protective coatings, putty, epoxy oils, bio diesel etc. Whereas, Refined Soybean Oil may be used as any other cooking vegetable oil as deep or shallow frying media and all other edible and industrial purposes.
