Abstract
Analysis of total oil content in soybeans is usually done by extracting flours, whereas commercial extraction for recovery of oil is done by extracting flakes. It has recently become apparent that phosphorus content of crude soybean oil extracted from flours can vary depending on extraction temperature and flour moisture. In this study, flour moistures below 6% yielded crude oil with low phosphorus (15 ppm), but phosphorus in the oil increased rapidly to 260 ppm at 9% moisture. When temperature of the extraction was increased from 25 to 60°C, the phosphorus in extracted oil also increased for moisture contents of 6.6% and 8.3%, but not for moisture contents of 5% and 3%. In addition to the effects of extraction temperature, it was found that preheating whole soybeans at various temperatures affected phosphorus in oil from extracted flour. Preheating at 130°C caused high phosphorus content regardless of how dry the flour was, whereas preheating at 100°C or below caused phosphorus content that increased with increased moisture. The response of phosphorus content in crude oil to temperature and moisture may be useful in improving the quality of commercially extracted soy oil.
