FEATURE: THE 'GREATER BEAN'

* Soy nut butter: Prepared from
roasted whole soybeans, crushed and
blended with soybean oil and other ingredients into a "spreadable" form.
* Soy extract (milk) and tofu: Prepared either from whole beans or
flour. The extract may either be used
as a milk-like product or coagulated
into tofu.

* Soy nuts: Prepared from whole
beans and used as a snack.
* Soy flours: Prepared full fat, medium fat and low fat soy flours that are
used in fortification and supplementation programs at 10%-15% levels.
* Soy baked products: Prepared
from soy flours in the form of breads,
cookies etc.

Sometimes it makes sense
to pay for extra water...

...but not when buying grain
The Aquamatic 5100 by Perten Instruments is the ﬁrst major
advance in moisture meters in decades. Using the most recent
developments such as 150 MHz technology and Uniﬁed Moisture
Algorithm, it is signiﬁcantly more accurate than previous
instruments and does not require frequent calibration updates.

NEW INDUSTRIAL USES
Dozens of new industrial uses for
soybeans are invented each year. For
instance, in 2005 the United Soybean
Board (USB) and the soybean check-off
funded and supported the development
of 19 new soybean-based products and
applications.
Todd Allen, chairman of USB's New
Uses Committee, estimates that more
than 90 million bushels (2,449,395
tonnes) of U.S. soybeans were used in
industrial products in 2005.
Soybean-based plastic represents a
viable and economically competitive
alternative to petrochemical-based
products that many manufacturers and
consumers are noticing.
Ashland Special Chemical Company,
Columbus, Ohio, U.S., is using its ENVIREZ soy-based resin to make soft
and rigid plastics. Examples include
a newly formulated low-profile thermoset sheet-molding compound from
John Deere and Case New Holland for
tractor hoods and covers.
Other newly developed soybeanbased industrial products include:
* Envirotemp FR-3 Fluid, a soybean
oil-based transformer fluid, introduced
by Cooper Power Systems, Pewaukee,
Wisconsin, U.S. and Cargill, Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.
* ELMS Natural Masonry Jacket,
a soy-based stucco coating, and Agro
Seal, a soy-based caulking compound,
introduced by Green Products, LLC,
Romeoville, Illinois, U.S.
* Soygreen 5000, a parts cleaner
concentrate, and Soygreen 6000, an
adhesive remover, both of which are
manufactured by Soy Technologies,
