  • How to extract soybean oil?
  • Soybean oil can be obtained by expelling or using an organic solvent. Although, the employment of solvent will always follow the expelling to increase lipid extraction yield .
  • Which solvent is used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The solvent selection was performed on ethyl acetate and 1-butanol in comparison with ethanol, a well-studied green solvent, and hexane, a non-renewable and industrially used solvent. The effects of temperature and solvent/solid ratio on the yield of soybean oil extraction were investigated through response surface methodology (RSM).
  • Is ethanol a promising solvent for soybean oil extraction?
  • The experimental results were briefly compared with hexane, once this is the solvent industrially used, and ethanol, for being a promising solvent for soybean oil extraction, using the methodologies of solvent selection of Hansen and the prediction of ln (IDAC) using the COSMO-SAC theory.
  • Can green solvents be used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The application of green solvents in soybean oil extraction is reviewed. Hansen parameters and COSMO-based models can serve as a solvent selection tool. Direct substitution of hexane with green solvents is the most promising alternative. Kinetic models and the thermodynamic assessment are analyzed comprehensively.
  • What is deodorization in soybean oil production?
  • Deodorization removes free fatty acids and volatile compounds from the feedstock . Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production. Hexane is currently the leading solvent in extraction , .
  • How to extract soybean oil from ethyl acetate and hexane?
  • To obtain the maximum yield of soybean oil extraction for ethyl acetate, 1-butanol, and hexane, the Soxhlet extractions were performed, whereas around 5 grams of soya flakes were extracted with 150 mL of each solvent for 4 hours in a Soxhlet apparatus (MA491/6, Marconi, Brazil).
