Soybean Oil Innovations [Fats/Oils] Vol. 19 No. 12 December 2010 ww Soybean Oil Innovations By Richard Galloway, Contributing Editor The soybean is an ancient crop native to eastern Asia with a history dating back 3,000 years. Today, the majority of the world’s soybeans are cultivated in the Americas, with the United States accounting for nearly one-third of the global supply. No other oilseed can grow on such an expanse of latitudes as those in the United States, Brazil and Argentina. In North America, soybean oil represents 85% of the potential vegetable oil supply, with canola oil being its closest competitor in volume at 12%. Thus, soybean oil is widely available and provides a consistent supply year after year, regardless of crop growing conditions. This wide availability is attractive to the food industry. Furthermore, soybean oil is marketable to health- conscious consumers. Soybean oil contains just 14% saturated fat, is rich in polyunsaturated fat at 54%, contains zero grams of trans fat in liquid form, is the primary source of omega-3s (in the form of alpha linolenic acid) in the U.S. diet and contains no cholesterol. Soybean oil has a wide range of uses, from ink and coatings to bottled vegetable oil to sophisticated specialty shortening systems. Refining the oil Production of edible products from crude soybean oil requires some combination of refining steps, but first the oil must be extracted from the soybean. At least 99% of soybean oil in the United States is extracted through the solvent-extraction process, in which dehulled soybean flakes are bathed in petroleum-derived hexane. This process yields a product that is safe for human consumption. Processors remove the hexane from the oil and the flakes, and the hexane is recovered and reused in the same manner. Over 19 billion pounds of crude soybean oil is produced by this process every year, while less than 200 million pounds are produced by other processes, primarily by physically pressing the oil out of the soy flakes. Once extracted and separated from the hexane solvent, the oil must be refined to remove off flavors and impurities that cause smoke when heated. This is accomplished by either caustic refining or physical refining. In the former process, the crude oil is mixed with a caustic chemical, which bonds with the primary impurities and forms a solution heavier than oil. A centrifuge separates the heavier material from the lighter, more-pure oil, which is removed. The oil is then filtered in a process referred to as “bleaching," and finally is deodorized to remove volatile compounds using super-heated steam under a vacuum. The oil from this process is referred to as refined, bleached and deodorized, or RBD. The vast majority of edible-grade soybean oil produced in the United States uses the RBD process. In physical refining, the crude oil is degummed to remove as much of the phosphorous compounds as possible, then heated with super-hot steam under vacuum. The next step Further processing can give the finished edible oil characteristics needed for specific food applications. The most widely used process has historically been hydrogenation. This process injects hydrogen atoms into the triglyceride molecule to make the oil more resistant to oxidation in high-heat applications and to retard www.foodproductdesign.com Page 1 [Fats/Oils] Vol. 19 No. 12 December 2010 oxidation of food products during extended shelf life. This process can also make semisolid and solid fat products such as vegetable shortening and flakes. Most methods of partially hydrogenating vegetable oils produce varying degrees of trans fatty acids. While trans fatty acids exist in dairy products and the fat in meat, the primary source of trans fat in the American diet has been partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Scientific studies completed in the 1990s found a positive correlation between consumption of relatively large amounts of trans fat and coronary heart disease. Consequently, much research has been done on replacements for vegetable oil products that contain higher volumes of trans fat. Incidentally, full hydrogenation does not produce trans fatty acids, and the hydrogenation process can be modified to produce very small quantities of trans fat. Precious metal catalysts can be employed, and time and temperature of the reaction can be modified to greatly reduce trans formation. Therefore, not all vegetable-oil hydrogenation produces trans fat. A process that produces soybean oil products with similar characteristics to partially hydrogenated oil is interesterification, which modifies the fatty-acid-chain distribution on the glycerol molecule without producing trans fats. Food products with similar melting points and melting curves can be produced using this process instead of simple hydrogenation. Interesterified oils are used mainly in coating fats, margarine, sweets, shortening, pastry and specialty fats. Interesterification is an alternative to hydrogenation as a method of producing modified crystal formation in soybean oil. The fractional crystallization of edible fats is another process that gives oil products the flexibility necessary for use in today’s wide range of fat-containing products. This process separates the “softer" oil portion from the “harder" portion. Either fraction can be used to produce the desired soft or hard oil product. Generally, the fractions are blended with other oils, such as RBD soy, to produce the desired specifications. Hydrogenated, interesterified and fractionated oils can be super-cooled and then plasticized for the desired crystal structure through controlled agitation to develop a more-rigid structure. This process is often referred to as “votating," a generic offtake of the primary manufacturer of this type of processing equipment. These plasticized soybean oil products are used in margarine, shortening, cake icing and similar applications. Breeding innovation The soybean industry has been especially proactive in addressing concerns about trans fat. Besides innovative processing techniques and proprietary blending methodologies by processors, soybean breeders have been hard at work developing soybean varieties that inherently produce soybean oil with improved characteristics. The first such breeding innovation was the low-linolenic soybean. This soybean produces an oil that naturally contains 60% less linolenic fatty acid than traditional soybeans. Linolenic fatty acid is the most unstable of the polyunsaturates, and contributes to instability to heat application and erodes a food’s shelf life potential. Low- linolenic soybean oil has successfully replaced some 750 million pounds of hydrogenated vegetable-oil products used primarily in frying and baking. The next exciting product introduction by the soybean industry will be soybean oil high in oleic fatty acid. In contrast to linolenic fatty acid, oleic acid is the most stable of the unsaturated fats in edible oil. This high- oleic/reduced saturate soybean oil (20% reduction in saturated fats compared to commodity soy oil) will provide a high degree of oxidative stability in high-heat applications and will contribute to extremely long shelf lives for products containing this oil. The soybean industry and food companies envision that this oil will see high-volume uses in frying, baking and other applications characterized by high-heat processing, and in those needing a long shelf life. www.foodproductdesign.com Page 2 [Fats/Oils] Vol. 19 No. 12 December 2010 Soybean oil’s clean, natural taste and nearly imperceptible aroma support and enhance the natural flavors of prepared foods. Whether used as a shortening for old-fashioned pie crust or blended with flavored vinegar for a new dressing, soybean oil’s neutral flavor lets the real taste of the food product come through. Adaptable to nearly every fat or oil application in the food industry, soybean oil works well with other ingredients, including other fats and oils, making it suitable for use in salad dressings, sauces and baked goods. Liquid soybean oil is used in 100% formulations for cooking oil and to create mayonnaise, salad dressings and sauces. Soybean oil also is found in breads, crackers, barbecue sauce and non-dairy creamers. It is used in prepared foods such as whipped toppings, potato chips, and battered and breaded snacks and vegetables. Compared to other vegetable oils, soybean oil has good emulsifying ability. Chefs and food companies have long practiced oil blending to reap the benefits of flavored oils paired with cost-saving ingredients such as soybean oil. The soybean industry’s dialogue with the food industry to meet the evolving consumer demand for healthy foods has resulted in trans fat being largely removed from the food supply, and reduction of saturated fat, as well. U.S. soybean farmers take great pride in growing one of the healthiest food crops in the world. Since 1998, Richard Galloway has served as president of Galloway and Associates, LLC, a business consulting firm to the oilseed processing industry, its suppliers and customers. He is also the United Soybean Board’s composition project leader, and the project leader for the Select Yield and Quality program.

  • Evaluation of the Use of Recycled Vegetable Oil As a Collector Reagent in the Flotation of Copper Sulfide Minerals Using Seawater
    recycling Article Evaluation of the Use of Recycled Vegetable Oil as a Collector Reagent in the Flotation of Copper Sulfide Minerals Using Seawater Felipe Arcos and Lina Uribe * School of Mining Engineering, University of Talca, Talca 3460000, Chile; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +56-220-1798 Abstract: Considering sustainable mining, the use of seawater in mineral processing to replace conventional water is an attractive alternative, especially in cases where this resource is limited. However, the use of this aqueous medium generates a series of challenges; specifically, in the seawater flotation process, it is necessary to adapt traditional reagents to the aqueous medium or to propose new reagents that achieve better performance and are environmentally friendly. In this research, the technical feasibility of using recycled vegetable oil (RVO) as a collector of copper sulfide minerals in the flotation process using seawater was studied. The study considered the analysis of the metallurgical indexes when different concentrations of collector and foaming reagent were used, considering as collectors the RVO, potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) and mixtures of these, in addition to the methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) as foaming agent. In addition, it was evidenced that the best metallurgical indexes were achieved using 40 g/t of RVO and 15 g/t of MIBC, which corresponded to an enrichment ratio of 6.29, a concentration ratio of 7.01, a copper recovery of 90.06% and a selectivity index with respect to pyrite of 4.03 and with respect to silica of 12.89. Finally, in relation to the study of the RVO and PAX collector mixtures, it was found that a mixture of 60 g/t of RVO and 40 g/t of PAX in the absence of foaming agent presented the best results in terms of copper recovery (98.66%) and the selectivity index with respect to pyrite (2.88) and silica (14.65), improving Citation: Arcos, F.; Uribe, L.

When assessing the benefits of biofuels, they are compared to the fossil fuels they replace. In the framework of the European Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive, this is done by comparing the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of biofuels to a ‘fossil comparator’. This fossil comparator is based on the average greenhouse gas intensity of fossil fuels brought on the EU transportation market. Unconventional oils such as extra heavy oil and bitumen (tar sands), kerogen oil (oil shale), light tight oil (shale oil), deep sea oil and synthetic products such as gas-to-liquids and coal-to-liquids, typically have higher carbon footprints than conventional oil mainly because the effort required to extract, refine and/or synthesize them is much larger than for conventional oil. As the share of these unconventional oil-based fuels gradually rises in the total fuel supply over time, the greenhouse gas footprint of the average fuel consumption also rises. Even for conventional oil production fields, because larger existing fields get depleted, the extraction efforts increase while smaller fields are taken in operation.

  • Emerging Vegetable Oils in Europe
    CBI Product Factsheet: Emerging vegetable oils in Europe CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Cloves in Germany | 1 Introduction The drive for innovation in the European food industry leads companies to adopt new ingredients in order to remain competitive. The introduction of new vegetable oils (emerging oils), either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge. On the other side of the coin, exporters of emerging oils still face a number of challenges to access the European market successfully. Whereas the Novel Food Regulation imposes marketing restrictions on a number of innovative products, some barriers to suppliers are often related to issues such as supply sufficiency and stability. At the same time, emerging oils also provide opportunities in terms of niche marketing and value adding propositions. Understanding the European market for emerging vegetable oils Innovation is high on the agenda of food manufacturers in Europe, significantly in North-Western Europe. In order to remain competitive, companies invest heavily in Research & Development (R&D), with the goal of adapting products to ever-changing consumer preferences, food health and safety requirements and introducing novelty into the food market. A large part of this strategy consists in finding new ingredient solutions. Vegetable oils are an integral part of several food products and, as such, are an interesting basis for product development. The introduction of new vegetable oils, either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge.
