• How is Canadian soybean oil sold?
  • The product can be delivered in bulk or repackaged to the customer¡¯s specifications. Canadian soybean oil is sold in many forms, ranging from the crude bulk product to fully refined cooking oil, packaged and ready for grocery store shelves. About one-third to one-half of soybean oil produced in Canada is exported, mostly for use in food production.
  • What is refining a soybean oil?
  • Refining plays a key role in the manufacturing of edible oils like soybean oil. Its chief purpose is to eliminate impurities, volatile substances, and unwanted components from the crude oil. Refining thus results in the production of a high-quality, stable edible oil that is perfectly safe to consume.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • Once the soybean seeds undergo the preparatory section processes, they are moved to the solvent extraction plant. The solvent extraction process is a common method used for soybean oil extraction. The aim is to use a solvent for dissolving a target solute, and wash it out of the solid plant component.
  • What is solvent recovery in soybean oil production?
  • Solvent recovery is a significant step in the soybean oil production process. It is carried out to recover and reuse the solvent used in extraction. This sustainable practice not only lessens waste but also ensures environmental-friendliness and cost-effectiveness by reducing fresh solvent requirement.
  • What is once-refined soybean oil?
  • Once-refined soybean oil is produced from fair average quality crude soybean oil that has been solvent-extracted (unless otherwise arranged between buyer and seller). Refining removes essentially all free fatty acids and non-oil substances.
  • Is Canadian soybean oil organic?
  • Soybean oil from Canada can be solvent-extracted, mechanically extracted and/or certified organic. Canadian soybean oil is sold in many forms, ranging from the crude bulk product to fully refined cooking oil, packaged and ready for grocery store shelves.
