Biodiesel from Soy Bean?

As I was reading regarding GMOF (Genetically Modified Organism & Food), I came across an article about “Biodiesel made of Soy Bean Oil”.

Through biotechnology which produces GMOF soy beans, there are still plenty of soy bean for meeting the demands of food production. But the surplus needed to be utilized. That’s why the soybean checks off helped develop the U.S. biodiesel industry through research funding to find new uses for soybean oil. One of those uses was soy biodiesel. Over time, the industry grew and provided great new opportunities for all soy bean farmers, not to mention increased energy security and environmental benefits for us all. This will boost the demand for soybeans, but not at the risk of sacrificing food use.

In reality, food production is still the number one use for soybean oil worldwide.Let’s not forget the other major component of soybeans – soy bean foods!!

Bean curd







Tofu







Soy Bean Pasta

How environment friendly…Don’t you think so?
This proves the power of biotechnology!
