Crude Soybean Oil

Crude Soybean Oil is an unrefined oil extracted from soybeans through cleaning, conditioning, mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, and degumming to remove phospholipids. With its characteristic amber-green color and natural soybean aroma, it serves as a key feedstock for producing refined soybean oil (RBD), lecithin (for food emulsifiers), and industrial food ingredients like margarine and shortenings. Though rich in polyunsaturated fats (omega-6) and vitamin E, it requires further refining for edible use due to impurities (FFAs, gums).
