• What is degummed soybean oil used for?
  • Some Soybean processing plants degum crude soybean oil to produce Phosphatides and market them as Lecithin before shipping to refineries for further processing. As a result, crude, degummed soybean oil is produced and marketed and feed grade oil for use in animal feeds.
  • What is crude degummed soybean oil?
  • The odor, texture and flavor of crude degummed soybean oil are pleasant. Crude degummed soybean oil is produced from controlled NON¨CGMO soybeans (< 0.9%). The soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture content, heated to between 60 oC to 88 ¡ãC (140¨C190 ¡ãF), rolled into flakes and solvent¨Cextracted with hexanes.
  • What is enzymatic degumming?
  • The enzymatic degumming also decreases wastewater and used chemicals and running costs; moreover, it enables physical refining by lowering the residue phosphorus to?<?10 mg/kg. Soybean oil SBO is a vegetable oil extracted from soybean seeds. It is one of the most widely consumed cooking oils and the second most consumed vegetable oil 1.
  • What is enzymatic degumming of crude oil?
  • Another commonly reported approach of degumming is based on the use of enzymes. Jiang et al. (2015) investigated the enzymatic degumming of crude oil usingPseudomonas fluorescens BIT-18 enzyme and reported that after enzymatic treatment of 5 h at 40 ¡ãC temperature, phospholipid concentration was reduced to 5 mg/kg.
  • How much trapped oil does a degumming process contain?
  • The NOL in the separated gums 18 and by this method, it is reported that gums removed in the chemical degumming process have 18¨C10% trapped oil. On the other hand, our enzymatic degumming process is more economically recommended.
  • What is the role of vegetable oil degumming process in refining edible oil?
  • Scientific Reports 14, Article number: 4064 (2024) Cite this article The vegetable oil degumming process plays a critical role in refining edible oil. Phospholipids (PL) removal from crude extracted soybean oil (SBO) by the enzymatic degumming process has been investigated in this work.
