“…Soybean seeds contain on average 40% protein, 20% lipids, 34% carbohydrates (soluble and insoluble), and 4.9% ash. Among these large groups of biomolecules are important macro-and micronutrients and biologically active components such as isoflavones, tocopherols, saponins, phytosterols, as well as essential fatty acids, especially linoleic acid and linolenic acid [7].…”

The concept of biorefinery is analogous to that of petroleum refineries, but it uses renewable raw materials. However, the main objective of the biorefinery is to transform renewable agricultural materials into numerous and different commercially applicable products, allowing a viable economic competitiveness to traditional petrochemical refineries. In this chapter, we present a proposal for a biorefinery integrated from soybean as raw material, demonstrating its potential in this sector. In addition, special focus was given to the high value-added products present in the soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD), such as tocopherol, fatty acids, and squalene, which can be applied in the food, pharmacy, and cosmetic industries. In conclusion, the use of soybean raw material as a biomass in a biorefinery presents numerous environmental and economic advantages as high value-added products are formed. It is important to highlight that in this highly evolved integrated biorefinery model, the additional benefits of operational and administrative synergies will emerge over time.

“…Adequate heating inactivates the protein antinutrients and therefore properly handled soybeans and processed products have been safely consumed as food and feed for a long time. Soy foods can be roughly classified into four major categories (Liu, 2004):…”

“…According to Liu (2004), the range oil content in soybean is 12-30% (dry weight; typical oil content 20%), whose major components are triacylglycerols. There is a large genetic variation in fatty acid composition of soybean oil, mainly resulting from plant breeding.…”
