  • How do you remove oil from soybeans?
  • Oil from the soybeans can be removed by any one of the two oil extraction methods. The first method involves crushing the beans into thin flakes and then employing a solvent extraction method, while in the second one, flakes are pressed out mechanically. The mechanical pressing method to remove oil was common until the early 1900s.
  • What is solvent extraction process in soybean oil extraction?
  • 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. The processes involved at this stage are provided below. Soybeans are first cleaned and cracked.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • The expanding process involves heating the cleaned soybeans to facilitate soybean oil extraction. This can be achieved through mechanical pressing or by using solvents like hexane. Mechanical pressing involves physically pressing the soybeans to release the oil, while solvent extraction is a more efficient method for large-scale production.
  • How many smallholder farmers will be able to grow soybeans in Uganda?
  • In Uganda, the project has so far signed partnership agreements with eleven SMEs working in the soybean and sesame value chains with a potential to reach 90,000 smallholder farmers.
