Óleo degomado de grãos de soja sem defeitos e partidos para produção de biocombustível

Abstract

The world’s demand for energy is constantly increading. One of the alternatives is the production of the biodiesel from source of soy. The biodiesel from the soy provides the benefits of being a great use of the grain itself, and also is a great source of renewable energy. The industry follow specific standards to classify the quality of the grains. In case the grains present results outside of the standards estipulated by the industry, a discount is determined to buy the cargo. The purpose of this study is to verify and analize the discount established by the industry for the gain of soy (Glycine max), comparing the quality of the oil for the purpose of production of biodiesel classified as “broken” and/or without any defects. The experimental design used for statistics purposes was the Entirely Randomized. The study analized the degummed oil in the production of ten diferente samples of biodiesel from gain of soy “broken” and without any deffects. The variables analized were: acidity, oil oxidative stability index, and grain oil content. The conclusion presented results comparing both qualities of the grain of soy (i.e. “broken” and without any defects), showing a discrepancy of 70% in the quality index, analizing the ten different samples randomly extracted and tested. The results were similar only for one of the analyzed cultivars (NA 5909 16/17) in two variables (acidity and oxidative stability index) and differing for the oil content.
