  • Are cold pressed soybean oils solvent-extracted?
  • Commercial soybean oils are commonly solvent-extracted and refined due to their high phosphatides contents. Hence, few studies exist on characterization of cold pressed soybean oils in the literature.
  • Why is cold pressed soybean oil a limiting factor?
  • However, the cold pressing technique does not allow to use high temperature processes, so that enzyme activity maintains in cold pressed soybean oils. This is the essential limiting factor for use of the cold pressing method in soybean oils. 3. Fatty acids and acyl lipids
  • Are cold pressed soybean oils toxic?
  • Compared to other cold pressed oils, the characterization and toxicological studies dealing with soybean oils are very limited. Therefore, further investigations should be carried out to find out the other contaminants and compounds, which may exhibit health-related problems in cold pressed soybean oils.
  • How much phytosterol is in cold pressed soybean oil?
  • It is reported that the total phytosterol content of cold pressed soybean oil (3.2 mg/g) is close to that of cold pressed flaxseed (3.1 mg/g), and sunflower (3.2 mg/g) oils, and less than that of cold pressed corn (9.7 mg/g), and rapeseed (7.7 mg/g) oils ( Rudzińska et al., 2001 ).
  • Does cold pressed soybean oil contain trans fatty acids?
  • However, Brühl (1996) detected the presence of trans fatty acids (0.10%–0.15%) in cold pressed soybean oils. The author thus stated that trans fatty acids may occur due to high temperature drying of seeds before cold pressing and/or deodorization of cold pressed soybean oils or blending of cold pressed oils with refined ones.
  • Does solvent extraction reduce -tocopherol in soybean oil?
  • Kania et al. (2004) reported that solvent extraction of soybean oil yielded higher total tocopherols content (1448 mg/kg) than cold pressing (1358 mg/kg), and the refining process led to the loss of α-tocopherol by 37%, β-tocopherol by 56%, γ-tocopherol by 17%, and δ-tocopherol by 34% in solvent-extracted soybean oil.
