This report consists of a detailed cost analysis of Soybean Oil from Cleaning, Drying, and Dehulling. Before the oil is extracted, the soybeans are cleaned, dried, and dehulled. Because they absorb oil and result in a lesser yield, the soybean hulls must be removed. By splitting the soybeans and mechanically separating the hulls and cracked soybeans, the hulls are removed during this de-hulling process. In order to facilitate oil extraction, the soybeans are also heated to a temperature of about 75 °C to coagulate the soy proteins.
The soybeans are then divided into flakes and placed in percolation extractors where they are mixed with a solvent, often hexane. Evaporators are used to extract the hexane from the soybean oil. Hexane that has evaporated is collected and added back to the extraction procedure. The crude soybean oil without hexane is then further refined.
The crude soybean oil still needs to be cleaned off several oil-soluble and oil-insoluble contaminants. Filtering is used to remove the oil-insoluble materials, and various processes are used to remove the soluble materials, such as degumming (the removal of phosphatides), oil refining (washing with an alkaline solution to remove free fatty acids, colourants, insoluble matter, and gums), and bleaching (using activated earth or activated carbon to remove colour and other impurities).
