The extraction process uses hexane or other solvents to wash the soybean oil from the prepared soybean flakes. The design of the equipment varies so that Crown can optimize the amount of solvent and bed depth needed to efficiently wash the flakes, the contact time of the solvent and flakes, and the power and utilities needed to run the equipment.
What is the soybean processing industry?
The soybean processing industry has developed manufacturing systems and procedures, trading rules, comprehensive product quality specifications, and quality control procedures to ensure finished products that consistently meet customer and consumer needs.
What is a safe extraction method for oil from soybeans?
