Soybean is generally recognized as a source of edible and the deoiled meal is seen as a source of protein inrnanimal feed. In recent years. However,more interest has been directed toward using soy meal as a proteinrnsouce for human consumption. Extrusion-expelling of soybean provides an opportunity in this direction. Thernmain focus of this study was to maximize the oil recovery from extruded soybean processed using three differ-rnent kinds of extrudates and processing conditions. These extruded samples were later pressed uniaxially in arnspecifically designed test-cell and the oil recovery was recorded over time. The effects of process variables ,in-rncluding applied pressure, pressing temperature and sample height, were investigated. Results indicated thatrnover90% of the available oil could be recovered from pressing of extruded soy samples. The information gen-rnerated is likedly to be useful in interpreting the effect of precess variables and extruding equipment for pre-rntreatment of soybean for subsequent mechanical oil expression.
