- Cleaning: Soybeans are cleaned to remove impurities, such as metallic and non-metallic substances. Magnetic separators are used to remove metallic impurities.
- Cracking: Soybeans are cracked to reduce their size and increase their surface area for oil extraction.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Dehulling: Soybeans are dehulled.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Conditioning: Cracked soybeans are conditioned, or heated, and rolled into flakes.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Oil extraction: The oil content of the flakes is extracted using a solvent, such as hexane, or by mechanical means, such as a screw press machine.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Oil refining: The extracted crude oil is refined, bleached, and deodorized to produce clear, odorless soybean oil.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Soybean meal production: The remaining defatted flakes are toasted, dried, and ground to produce soybean meal. Soybean meal is a protein source for livestock, pets, and humans.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Soy flour production: Soy flour is made from soybeans and contains more than 50% protein. It is used in many commercial bakeries.
- <strong ahbak=”true” aria-hidden=”true”>Soy hull processing: Soy hulls are processed into fiber bran breads, cereals, snacks, and feedstuffs for the dairy and cattle industries.
