CAS 110-54-3 Hexane is a colorless, flammable liquid that is widely used in organic synthesis, solvents, and fuels. n-Hexane chemical is mainly used in the food processing industry to extract vegetable oil from various seed crops such as soybeans, peanuts and flaxseed. It is also used as a laboratory solvent, in the production of pharmaceuticals, as a cleaning agent and in rubber production. n‑Hexane is also used in other products such as adhesives and lacquers.
Which food has hexane chemical (cas 110-54-3) in it?
Hexane is not an intentional food additive; it is only present as a trace residual in foods processed with hexane-based extraction, including:
- Vegetable oils (soybean, canola, sunflower, corn oil).
- Processed foods containing these oils (e.g., snack foods, baked goods, cooking oils).
- Some protein products derived from oilseed meals (e.g., soy protein isolate).
Why is Hexane chemical Used in Oil Extraction?
Here are the key reasons for hexane's popularity:
Ideal physical traits: N-Hexane Chemical has a low boiling point (69°C/156°F) and evaporates fast. It stays liquid at room temperature, making it easy to handle. Quick evaporation also cuts down energy costs for the extraction process.
Maximum oil yield: Solvent extraction with hexane is super efficient. It leaves less than 1% oil in the leftover meal, way better than mechanical pressing methods that can leave 6% residual oil. For large-scale plants (processing 500–1,000 tons of soybeans daily), this extra oil recovery adds up fast and boosts profits significantly.
Consistent product quality: Hexane (C6H14) is a selective solvent. It only extracts fats from seeds, without damaging other nutrients like protein and fiber. This keeps the nutritional value of the byproduct meal intact.
