It is almost impossible to maintain a complete and up-to-date listing of the publications dealing with limited special fields within the edible oil industry. Many of these are sponsored by technical or trading associations. For example, there is the Cotton Gin and Oil Mill Press of the National Cottonseed Products Association, the Peanut Journal and Nut World of the National Peanut Council, the Soybean Digest of the American Soybean Association, the Bulletin of the Institute of Margarine Manufacturers, the Journal of Milk and Food Technology, the American Butter and Cheese Review and the National Provisioner. In Canada there is Butterfal in Italy there is Olive Culture and in France there is the Bulletin of the International Office of the Cocoa and Chocolate Industry,...

Naeve and Orf (2006) conducted a soybean measurement survey of 1593 samples for the American Soybean Association and found that in 2006 average protein of soybeans grown in the United States was 34.51% (13% moisture basis) and average oil was 19.17% (13% moisture basis) (Table 6.5).

A key component of diets fed to companion animals is the protein source that is used in the diets. As an economical source of protein, SBM is commonly included in companion animals diets. However, in 2006, the 1.0 million metric tons (1.1 million tons) used in commercial pet foods represented only 3% of total SBM used by animals in the United States (American Soybean Association, 2007 Fig. 18.1).

The United States currently produces over 3.1 billion bushels of soybeans per year (The American Soybean Association, 2007). In 2006, over one-third (1.1 billion bushels) of the crop was exported, while the remainder was sold on the domestic market. Of the edible soybean products in the U.S. market, the consumption of soybean oil (SBO) is greatest U.S. production of SBO has surpassed 20 billion pounds per year (The American Soybean Association, 2007). SBO is the major edible oil in the United States and represented 75% of the total edible oils and fats consumed in 2006. The predominant dietary sources of SBO are salad and cooking oil (48%) and baking and frying fats (34%). SBO has a unique fatty acid profile it is comprised predomi-nandy of unsaturated fatty acids including monounsaturated fatty acids (MU FA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), of which the predominant PUFA is linoleic acid (LA), and to a much lesser extent, a-linolenic acid (ALA).
