The application of transgenic technology in agriculture has become a hot topic in the world today. Planting transgenic crops can not only improve the yield and insect resistance of crops, but also improve the quality and nutritional value of crops. As a new type of edible oil, Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil is gradually entering people's table. This paper will introduce the production technology of Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil and its benefits to human health.
Production steps of Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil
The production process of Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil mainly includes soybean planting, harvesting, oil extraction and refining.
Step 1: Plant soybeans
The planting process of transgenic soybean is similar to that of traditional soybean. Under suitable soil and climate conditions, farmers carry out soybean sowing, fertilization, irrigation and pest control according to planting requirements.
Step 2: Harvest the soybeans.
When soybeans are ripe, farmers harvest them. The traditional harvesting method is to use a harvester for mechanical harvesting, and then collect the soybeans.
Step 3: extract oil.
The harvested soybeans are sent to the factory for processing. Firstly, soybean was washed and ground, and then soybean oil was extracted by solvent extraction. Solvent extraction is a common method to extract soybean oil. Dissolve the oil in soybean with organic solvent, and then evaporate the solvent to get pure soybean oil.
Step 4: Refining
The extracted soybean oil needs refining to improve its quality and taste. The refining process includes deacidification, deodorization and decoloration. Deacidification is to remove free fatty acids from soybean oil, deodorization is to remove odor from soybean oil, and decoloration is to remove impurities and pigments from soybean oil.
Benefits of genetically modified soybean oil from Fulinmen
Compared with traditional soybean oil, Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil has the following advantages:
Advantage 1: improve nutritional value
Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil has been improved by transgenic technology, and its fatty acid composition is more reasonable, and it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids needed by human body, such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid. These unsaturated fatty acids have many benefits to human health, such as lowering blood fat and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Advantage 2: Enhance antioxidant capacity.
Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil is rich in antioxidants and has strong antioxidant capacity. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative damage of cells, delay the aging process and improve human immunity.
Advantage 3: Improve stability.
Fulinmen transgenic soybean oil has been improved by transgenic technology, and its oil stability is higher. Traditional soybean oil is easy to oxidize and produce harmful substances, while transgenic soybean oil has better oxidation stability and can reduce the production of harmful substances.
