Ingredient List
84.1 Ground Soybeans
is obtained by grinding whole soybeans without cooking or removing any of the oil. (Published 1933)
84.2 Ground Soybean Hay
is the ground soybean plant including the leaves and beans. It must be reasonably free of other crop plants and weeds and must contain not more than 33% crude fiber. (Published 1944, Amended 1964)
84.3 Soybean Hulls
consist primarily of the outer covering of the soybean. (Published 1948)
84.5 Soy Grits
is the granular material resulting from the screened and graded product after removal of most of the oil from selected, sound, clean and dehulled
84.7 Soybean Meal, Dehulled, Solvent Extracted
is obtained by grinding the flakes remaining after removal of most of the oil from dehulled soybeans by a solvent extraction process. It must contain not more than 3.5% crude fiber. It may contain calcium carbonate or an anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5% as defined in section 87 (Special Purpose Products) to reduce caking and improve flowability. The name of the conditioning agent must be shown as an added ingredient. When listed as an ingredient in a manufactured feed it may be identified a
84.8 Soybean Mill Feed
is composed of soybean hulls and the offal from the tail of the mill which results from the manufacture of soy grits or flour. It must contain not less than 13% crude protein and not more than 32% crude fiber. (Proposed 1960, Published 1961, Amended 1964)
84.9 Soybean Mill Run
is composed of soybean hulls and such bean meats that adhere to the hulls which result from normal milling operations in the production of dehulled soybean meal. It must contain not less than 11% crude protein and not more than 35% crude fiber. (Proposed 1960, Published 1961, Amended 1964)
84.10 Soy Phosphate or Soy Lecithin
is the mixed phosphatide product obtained from soybean oil by a degumming process. It contains lecithin, cephalin, and inositol phosphatides, together with glycerides of soybean oil and traces of tocopherols, glucosides, and pigments. It must be designated and sold according to conventional descriptive grades with respect to consistency and bleaching. (Proposed 1958, Published 1961)
84.11 Heat Processed Soybeans
is the product resulting from heating whole soybeans without removing any of the component parts. It may be ground, pelleted, flaked, or powdered. The maximum pH rise using standard urease testing procedure should not exceed 0.10 pH units. It must be sold according to its crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber content. (Proposed 1960, Published 1964, Amended 1991, 1992)
84.12 Soy Protein Concentrate
is prepared from high quality sound, clean, dehulled soybean seeds by removing most of the oil and water soluble non-protein constituents and must contain not less than 65% protein on a moisture-free basis. (Proposed 1988, Published 1990)
84.13 Kibbled Soybean Meal
is the product obtained by cooking ground solvent extracted soybean meal, under pressure and extruding from an expeller or other mechanical pressure device. It must be designated and sold according to its protein content and shall contain not more than 7% crude fiber.
