Environmental Impact Analysis of Soybean Oil Production
Environmental Impact Analysis of Soybean Oil Production from Expelling, Hexane Extraction and Enzyme Assisted Aqueous Extraction Abstract In the industry, expelling and hexane extraction are the two typical processes for soybean oil production.

Mar 01, 2024· 1. Introduction. The US is the largest soybean producer in the world; around 34% of soybean production takes place in the US (Soystats, 2016).Due to its high oil content (Bernardini, 1983), soybean is the main oilseed used in edible oil production.In industry, the mechanical pressing-expelling, and hexane extraction are two typically used processes.
"Environmental Impact Analysis of Soybean Oil Production
In the industry, expelling and hexane extraction are the two typical processes for soybean oil production. However, the low efficiency and hazardous chemical problem are the main issues for these two processes respectively. Enzyme assisted aqueous extraction process (EAEP) is applied to increase the efficiency without using organic solvent, which is replaced by water. The environmental impact
EAEP has similar environmental impacts to the expelling process, but it also lowers GHG and criteria pollutants emissions. EAEP has the potential to be a green process adopted by industry although a high energy intense pretreatment to produce finer soybean flakes for increasing oil recovery is still a

The analysis relies largely on comparisons between intact or nutrient impacts of soybean production in the Amazon are limited to a few isolated study negative environmental impacts of
Update of Soybean Life Cycle Analysis
Aug 25, 2016· Soybean refined oil Soybean cultivation and oil milling are mainly contributing to the impact of all damage categories (>96%), while the impacts of oil refining are insignificant. Conclusions The environmental impacts of US-average soybean cultivation as defined and scoped in this project are driven by a handful of activities:
production process from soybean oil presents major environmental damage in seven categories of analyzed impacts (destruction of abiotic resources, destruction of the ozone layer, human toxicity, method of environmental impact analysis used was CML2001 v.3.01 (Non-baseline).
Soy Industries WWF
Soybean meal is widely used as animal feed, so we humans consume much of it indirectly via our meat and dairy. Soybeans also reach our tables as oil—which represents around 27% of worldwide vegetable oil production. While its most common oil-based form is table oil, soy is increasingly used for biodiesel production.
The expansion of soybean production into new areas of cultivation is expected to enable the country to increase soybean oil exports gradually. Policies in India and China affect soybean oil imports. Although palm oil accounts for a large share of India’s vegetable oil imports, India surpassed China in 2013/14 to become the world’s leading
