COSMETICS
In the food industry, soy oil (10-15%) is used in cooking and processed foods, while soy protein (5-10%) is found in tofu, soy milk, and meat substitutes.
Buyers typically look for key parameters such as moisture content, protein content, oil content, foreign matter, and damaged kernels. Soybeans from Brazil never fail them.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GMO & NON-GMO SOYBEANS
GMO soybeans are genetically modified for traits like herbicide and pest resistance and offer higher yields
Non-GMO soybeans are naturally bred, requiring traditional pest and weed management, and are preferred by consumers avoiding GMOs.
GRADING SOYBEANS
Grading soybeans involves evaluating test weight, moisture content, foreign material, splits, and damaged kernels to determine their overall quality and market value.
