Brief Project Summary:

The key objective of this research was to develop and optimize an aqueous extraction process that uses water instead of hexane as a solvent. The process separates oil and protein from soybean simultaneously and produces a new soy product, which has a protein content between defatted meal and a protein concentrate, but has significantly reduced concentrations of both heat liable and stable anti-nutritional factors as compared to hexane defatted soymeal. The product was compared to defatted soybean meal and fishmeal through a trout feeding study, with respect to growth performance and pathophysiological changes, such as distal intestinal enteritis in rainbow trout.

Key Audience:
Aquaculture nutritionists, aquaculture feed producers, trout producers
