High Oleic Soybean refers to a variety of soybeans that have been modified or selected to contain a high level of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid.

The name describes the structure of the molecule.

• High Oleic refers to a high content of oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fatty acid.
• Soybean is the English term for soy, a type of legume.

Description of raw materials used in production. 

• The primary raw material is the high oleic soybean seed. These seeds are grown from soy plants that have been selected or genetically modified to increase the levels of oleic acid in their oil.

Step-by-step summary of industrial production process.

• Cultivation. The high oleic soybean seeds are cultivated in fields.
• Harvesting. The seeds are harvested once they reach maturity.
• Oil Extraction. Oil is extracted from the seeds using either mechanical methods or through the use of solvents.
• Refining. The extracted oil is then refined to remove impurities and stabilize the product.

Form and color. The oil extracted from high oleic soybean seeds is a viscous liquid, generally light yellow in color.

Commercial applications. 

Oils obtained from high oleic soybean seeds are used in a variety of food and industrial applications due to their improved oxidative stability and healthy fatty acid profile. They are used in baking, frying, salad dressings, and various food products and snacks. In the cosmetic industry as well, these oils find application due to their emollient properties.

Foods. Oils derived from high oleic soybean are used for frying and cooking due to their thermal stability and resistance to oxidation.

Food Industry. Used in producing various food products like snacks, baked goods, and dressings, providing longer shelf-life due to its oxidative stability.

Cosmetics. High oleic soybean oil can be used in skin and hair care products for its moisturizing and nutritious properties.

Biofuels. High oleic soybean oils can be used in biodiesel production, providing a more sustainable alternative to traditional fuels.

Resin and Plastic Production. Used in producing resins, plastics, and foams thanks to its stable properties and high oleic acid content.

Lubricants. The derived oil can be used as a lubricant in various industrial applications.
