  • Why is soybean an important oilseed crop?
  • Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide owing to its diversity of end uses. In the year 2019-20, globally 341.76 million metric tons of soybean was produced which is 61% of the total oilseeds production. Its seed contains 18-23% oil and 38-44% protein. Seed is processed to extract oil for human consumption.
  • When was soybean introduced in Pakistan?
  • Soybean was introduced in Pakistan as an oilseed crop during the early 1960s, but its cultivation remained limited until 1970s when adaptability and production trials conducted all over the county yielded promising results.
  • Why is soybean important in Pakistan?
  • Soybean cultivation in Pakistan was primarily aimed at enhancing the production of edible oil, but it has a little share in domestic production as compared to other oilseed crops including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and rapeseed (Brassica napus).
  • Can a hydraulic press extract oil from oil bearing seeds?
  • For this study, a manually operated hydraulic press was designed for extracting oil from oil bearing seeds. The capacity of the hydraulic jack needed for the press was determined to be 18.6 tons. The designed press can be fabricated using wrought iron from unserviceable vehicles or mild steel.
