Crude Soybean Oil is extracted from soybeans (Glycine max) through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is one of the most important vegetable oils in the global market, widely used in the food, feed, biofuel, and industrial sectors. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential nutrients, crude soybean oil serves as the raw material for further refining into edible oil, margarine, and industrial-grade applications.
Typical characteristics include:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Golden yellow to amber, with natural particulates before refining |
| Moisture & Impurities | ≤ 0.3% |
| Free Fatty Acids (FFA, as Oleic Acid) | 1 – 3% |
| Phosphatides (Lecithin Content) | 2 – 3% |
| Iodine Value | 120 – 140 g I₂/100 g |
| Saponification Value | 189 – 195 mg KOH/g |
| Unsaponifiable Matter | ≤ 1.5% |
| Peroxide Value | ≤ 10 meq O₂/kg |
| Density at 25°C | 0.915 – 0.925 g/cm³ |
| Flash Point | ≥ 250°C |
(Values may vary depending on soybean origin and processing conditions.)
• High in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-6).
• Excellent raw material for refining into edible oils.
• Versatile industrial uses, from biodiesel to lubricants.
• Rich source of lecithin, widely used in food and pharmaceuticals.
• Stable global demand due to dual food and energy applications.
• Food Industry: Refined into cooking oil, margarine, shortenings, salad dressings, and frying oils.
• Feed Industry: Used as an energy-rich supplement in animal feed.
• Biofuel Sector: Major raw material for biodiesel production.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Industry: Source of lecithin, used in capsules, creams, and emulsifiers.
• Industrial Applications: Production of resins, coatings, inks, and lubricants.
Crude soybean oil is available in:
• Flexi-tanks (20–24 MT capacity) for bulk exports
• ISO tank containers for long-distance shipments
• Steel or plastic drums (180 – 200 L)
• Bulk vessel shipments for large-scale buyers
• Store in cool, dry, and ventilated conditions.
• Protect from direct sunlight and oxidation.
• Use nitrogen blanketing in bulk storage to reduce rancidity.
• Non-toxic but should be handled with standard industrial hygiene practices.
• Conforms to ISO, FOSFA, and international export standards.
