Brief Project Summary:

High oleic soybean oil is one of the more promising value-added opportunities available for U.S. soybean farmers. Developed by University of Missouri soybean breeders through soybean checkoff supported research, high oleic soybeans were trademarked as Soyleic by the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council in 2018. Soyleic soybeans produce three to four times more oleic acid than other conventional soybean varieties. The oil provides traditional soybean oil functionality and performance without the partial hydrogenation that creates trans fats. The non-GM trait, when combined with solid agronomic seed varieties, allows U.S. soybean growers access to certain market sectors that are highly sought after.

Key Benefactors:
Farmers, consumers, soybean processors

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1) Optimization of food processing technology for developing shelf stable SOYLEIC™ milk fortified with vitamin B12
2) Optimization of food processing technology for developing fortified SOYLEIC™ yogurt with vitamin B12
3) Optimization of food processing technology for developing fortified SOYLEIC™ tofu with vitamin B12
4) Extrusion and optimization of food processing technology for developing from SOYLEIC™ Okara with vitamin B12
5) Developing food processing technology for using SOYLEIC™ soymilk as a carrier to encapsulate vitamin B12 and develop high protein vitamin B12 fortified instant powder

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
