Soybean – An Understanding
Soybean
• The soybean (U.S.) or soya bean (UK) (Glycine max) is a species of legume native to East Asia
• A cream-coloured oval bean about the size of a common pea
• Soybeans are grown primarily for meal, and oil is a secondary product
• During processing, the soybeans are cracked to remove the hull and then rolled into full-fat flakes. The rolling process disrupts the oil cells, facilitating solvent extraction of the oil. After the oil has been extracted, the solvent is removed, and the flakes are dried, creating defatted soy flakes. While most of the defatted soy flakes are further processed into soybean meal for animal feeding, the flakes can be ground to produce soy flour, sized to produce soy grits or texturized to produce textured vegetable protein (TVP) for food uses.

Origin and Spread of Soyabean
• Soybean production was localized in China until after the ChineseJapanese war of 1894-95, when the Japanese began to import soybean oil cake for use as fertilizer
• Europeans had been aware of soybeans as early as 1712 through the writing of a German botanist
• Some soybean seed may have been sent from China by missionaries as early as 1740 and planted in France
• Shipments of soybeans were made to Europe about 1908, and the soybean attracted worldwide attention
• The soybean was a recent introduction to India, probably introduced into India from China, Japan and South east Asia via the Naga Hills and Manipur, at the far eastern tip of India
• In India Soybean cultivation is introduced in 1977
• Production of soybean in India at the present time is restricted mainly to Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat
• It is also grown on a small acreage in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and
Delhi
