Crude Soybean Oil

Overview

Description & composition

Crude Degummed Soybean Oil (CDSO) is a vegetable oil solvent-extracted from dehulled soybeans and stabilized through degumming, which removes hydratable phospholipids to optimize storage, transport, and refining efficiency. Naturally rich in essential unsaturated fatty acids and protective tocopherols, it stands out for its high purity, superior fluidity, and low insoluble content, ensuring clean bulk handling, excellent oxidative stability, and reliable performance across global logistics chains.

Suitable for

Species and feeding programs

• Food Refining: Essential feedstock for producing refined edible oils, margarines, and specialty fats with high oxidative stability.
• Biofuels & Renewables: Versatile triglyceride source for FAME biodiesel, renewable diesel (HVO), and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
• Animal Nutrition: High-density energy source providing essential fatty acids and improving feed palatability across all species.
• Industrial Applications: Reactive, biodegradable base for oleochemicals, including paints, resins, and eco-friendly lubricants.

Storage & shelf life

Recommended conditions

• Temperature: Maintain storage at 15–25 °C; avoid prolonged heating above 40 °C to prevent thermal degradation.
• Moisture: Keep moisture below 0.20% and prevent water contact during unloading to avoid hydrolysis and FFA increase.
• Environment: Protect from direct light and store in dark, dry areas to prevent peroxide formation and oxidation.
• Handling: Store in clean, dedicated steel tanks, avoiding mixing with older oil stock to preserve quality.
• Shelf life: 6–12 months under controlled temperature, moisture, and sealed conditions.
