Soybean meal is considered a premium product because of
its high digestibility, high energy content and
consistency. Over 80% of the soybean meal produced in
the U.S. is dehulled and processed in very large
state-of-the-art solvent extraction facilities. High
quality standards and an efficient production, handling
and shipping industry in the U.S. ensure that export
customers receive a consistent and high value product.

Solvent-extracted dehulled soybean meal is produced by
cracking, heating and flaking soybeans. The oil content
of the conditioned product is reduced by the use of
hexane or homologous hydrocarbon solvents to 1% or less
on a commercial basis. The extracted flakes are cooked
and ground into meal. To ensure its optimal nutritional
value, meal for animal feed needs to be heated
sufficiently high to inactivate certain anti-nutritional
factors, such as trypsin inhibitors. The process is
known as toasting. |
