FAQ’s

What is the difference between mechanical extracted soya meal and solvent extracted soya meal?

1. Mechanically Extracted Soybean Meal (ME-SBM):
   • Process: Produced by mechanically pressing soybeans to extract oil without using chemical solvents.
   • Composition:
     • Protein: Typically around 50.1% (dry matter).
     • Fat: Approximately 6.0% (dry matter).
     • Bypass protein content: Higher (around 49.5%).
   • Advantages:
     • Chemical-free extraction.
     • Retains natural nutrients.


2. Solvent-Extracted Soybean Meal (SE-SBM):
   • Process: Uses chemical solvents (e.g., hexane) to extract oil from soybeans.
   • Composition:
     • Protein: Typically around 45.3% (dry matter).
     • Fat: Lower (around 1.3% DM).
     • Bypass protein content: Lower (around 29.9%).
   • Advantages:
     • Efficient extraction.
   • Disadvantages:
     • Chemical residues (hexane).
     • Environmental impact.

What is the difference between Mechanical extracted soya crude oil and solvent extracted soya crude oil?

Soybean Crude Oil (ME-SO):
• Process: Obtained from mechanically pressed soybeans during the same extraction process as ME-SBM.
• Advantages:
  • Less processed than solvent-extracted oil.
  • Rich in natural components.
  • Retains natural flavor and nutrients.

1. Solvent-Extracted Soybean Oil (SE-SO):
   • Process:Extracted using chemical solvents (similar to SE-SBM).
   • Disadvantages:
     • Chemical residues.
     • Lower natural flavor and nutrients.
