Refined Soybean Oil: 

Crude degummed soybean oil is degummed by washing with water & centrifuged and then remove the fatty acid by adding dilute alkali solution to get the refined soybean oil. Refining can also be achieved by the use of other chemicals, e.g., acetic anhydride and water. The refined oil may be further treated by bleaching to improve color, a process involving application of heat and addition of special bleaching clay which is separated from the oil after combining with the coloring materials. Degree of bleaching depends on end product desired. Deodorization by treatment with steam at elevated temperatures and reduced pressures eliminates trace components which impart undesirable odors and flavors.
