Soybean processing typically involves the following steps:

1. Cleaning and Dehulling: Soybeans are cleaned to remove impurities and then dehulled to separate the hulls from the seeds, enhancing oil extraction efficiency.

2. Cooking and Conditioning: The dehulled soybeans are cooked and conditioned to deactivate anti-nutritional factors and to prepare the beans for oil extraction.

3. Oil Extraction and Meal Production: The cooked soybeans undergo oil extraction, usually through solvent extraction or mechanical pressing, resulting in crude soybean oil and soybean meal, which can be used as animal feed and protein sources.
