HOW TO FEED YOUR HORSE
with a healthier product. It is important to realize that expelled
soybean meal and oil are NOT the same as solvent extracted meal
and oil.
Soy-Co L.L.C. uses
the extrusion/expulsion process to mechanically press out the
oil that is used in our products. Horse health and nutrition is
greatly enhanced with our quality soybean meal and oil. Traditional
soybean meal and oil is rendered less valuable in nutrients due
to the chemical solvent extraction method used.

SOY-CO
MECHANICALLY PRESSED SOYBEAN OIL
|
SOLVENT EXTRACTED
SOYBEAN Oil
|
| No
chemical of any kind is used to extract the oil from the soybean |
The
solvent used is generally hexane, which is an octane gasoline. |
| Mechanical
extraction needs no bleaching or deodorizing since the soybeans
never have contact with a solvent. |
Residual
hexane remains in the oil and meal after evaporation. |
| Pressed
oils have tested alpha tocopherols (Vitamin E) at 198% higher
than solvent extracted. |
The
oil and meal must be bleached or deodorized to be food grade
ready. |
| The
natural Vitamin E present results in a long shelf life. |
The
process of removing the gasoline removes natural antioxidants
that are destroyed in the process. |
| The
natural lecithin present has been demonstrating healing solutions
for skin and liver disease. |
The
process of removing the gasoline also destroys Vitamin E,
resulting in a short shelf life. |
| All
natural compounds of the soybean are enhanced, not destroyed,
allowing for complete utilization of nutrients. |
Vitamin
E must be added back to the oil and meal that is usually done
chemically. |
THE
PROCESS
EXTRUSION:
The extrusion method generates heat through friction to cook,
sterilize, stabilize and texturize the soybeans. Expansion through
cooking is necessary for its effect on the protein of the ration
where it acts to detoxify or denature the anti-nutritional factors
of raw soybeans.
EXPULSION:
The expulsion method utilizes intense pressure to separate the
oil from the soybean meal. This is a mechanical process, using
no chemicals or additives to extract the oil. Thus, all the natural
properties of the soybean are passed on through our products and
to the consumer.
100% CHEMICAL-FREE
Expelled oil never
comes into contact with a solvent. Since there is no need for
"washing", the oil is darker in color, which is caused
by natural lecithin, Vitamin E, tocopherols, and all other antioxidants
natural soybeans carry. The shelf life and stability of the products
are enhanced when oil cells are ruptured, resulting in a release
of natural tocopherols. These tocopherols act as antioxidants
that help retain the quality of the soybean. Protein percentages
of the meal are generally higher, improving feed quality.
In general, studies
have shown a marked improvement in gain and efficiency for animals
on high concentrate rations and improved rations for young animals.
The expulsion process denatures enzyme inhibitors, allowing for
natural enzyme breakdown and utilization of proteins, fats and
carbohydrates. It does not destroy the natural compounds, which
become more available to the animal and higher in density.
