Development of a pilot-plant process for the extraction of soy flakes with aqueous isopropyl alcohol

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society

Abstract

Soy flakes were extracted with aqueous isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at 77 C in a Kennedy countercurrent continuous extractor at a retention time of 71 min. IPA concentration was varied from 85.0 to 90.5% w/w and included the 87.7% IPA-water azeotrope. Solvent to meal ratios were varied from 1.5 to 3.0. The oil-IPA miscella leaving the extractor was chilled and coalesced to yield an oil phase and an IPA phase. The IPA phase was recycled to the extractor without being distilled. Excess IPA was expressed from the defatted flakes, and this also was recycled to the extractor. IPA recovered by distillation in the evaporator-stripper and desolventizer-toaster accounted for less than 10% of the total. Refined deodorized oils from the IPA extraction process compared favorably with their hexane counterpart in color, peroxide value and phosphorous and free fatty acid contents. Desolventized meals from the IPA process compared favorably with their hexane-extracted counterpart in protein, ash and fiber content.
