Soybean Suspensions James D. Wilson STEP Science Camp May 21 to June 1, 2001 Advisor: Antoine Al-Achi, Ph.D. James D. Wilson/Antoine Al-Achi
Introduction • Soybean has been cultivated in China for thousands of years. • Currently, the United States is the main producer of Soybean worldwide. • Soybean is commonly used in food industry, especially in Asia. • Soybean is rich in proteins and oil. It contains all the essential proteins needed for life. James D. Wilson/Antoine Al-Achi
Objectives • To prepare suspensions containing soybean powder with different suspending agents. • To test the ability of soybean powder to act as a suspending agent itself. James D. Wilson/Antoine Al-Achi

Conclusion • Soybean suspensions made with different suspending agents showed that bentonite magma produced the best dispersion as compared to the other formulations. This was evident by the settling rate, sedimentation volume (F), and degree of flocculation (). James D. Wilson/Antoine Al-Achi
Conclusion (Continued) • When soybean dispersion (5%) was compared to bentonite magma in the preparation of calamine lotion, bentonite magma produced a much better dispersion than that with soybean. This conclusion was reached based on comparing the settling rate, sedimentation volume, and degree of flocculation of suspensions made by these two agents. James D. Wilson/Antoine Al-Achi
