Soybeans are usually harvested mechanically, after the leaves have fallen off the plant and the moisture content of the seed has dropped to 13 percent, permitting safe storage. The soybean may be cultivated in most types of soil, but it thrives in warm, fertile, well-drained, sandy loam. Research continues on opportunities to increase market share for soy-based binding agents in the insulation space. The author divides vegetable protein into two main types: Albumin and casein. Soybean farmers see new industrial uses for soybeans as a viable way to stay competitive and raise demand for U.S. soybeans. For example, W/O emulsions require HLB values from 3-6, O/W from 8-18, and both types fall in the 6-8 range.
