Abstract
Soybean flakes were extracted with lower than optimal quantities of hexane in the laboratory and comparisons were made of oil yield, phospholipids yield and phospholipids composition as a function of the volume of hexane. Although the oil yield and the total amount of phosphorus were significantly decreased with limited volumes of hexane, the distribution of phospholipid components remained essentially the same. Because the oil obtained by this limited solvent extraction contained less phosphatides, it is expected to be more easily processed by conventional techniques.
