Crude Soybean Oil
Crude Soybean Oil — unrefined, mechanically extracted soybean oil supplied for bulk purchase and international export. As a crude soybean oil supplier and exporter, France AJ Group Ltd (UK) supplies refineries, biodiesel producers, animal feed manufacturers, chemical processors, wholesalers and commercial buyers in flexitank, flexibag and bulk tanker/vessel, with a minimum order of one full container load (approx. 24–27 MT). Product quality and specifications are subject to the final certificate of analysis (COA) provided for each shipment, with ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and HACCP certification and non-GMO segregation available on request.
What Is Crude Soybean Oil?
Crude soybean oil is unrefined soybean oil that has been mechanically extracted to preserve its natural nutrients and essential fatty acids. It has a yellow to dark yellow colour and a characteristic, slightly beany taste and odour, and is supplied as a raw material for further refining rather than for direct consumption. Buyers sourcing crude soybean oil in bulk use it as a refinery feedstock, as an input for biodiesel and chemical manufacturing, and in animal feed, choosing it for its natural profile and consistent quality at container and vessel scale.
Crude Soybean Oil Specification
Most suppliers quote "crude soybean oil" and stop there. That is a description, not a specification. We state indicative values below; the final specification is confirmed on the certificate of analysis issued for each shipment, so refineries and manufacturers can verify the product against their own intake requirements.

Indicative values only. The final certificate of analysis accompanies each shipment and governs the contracted specification.
What the Specification Means for Your Line
Specification figures only matter if you know how they translate to processing. A maximum free fatty acid content of 0.1% and a peroxide value of ≤ 5 meq/kg indicate a crude oil suitable for further refining, while low moisture and impurities (0.1% max) support stability in storage and transit. The natural profile retains phospholipids and fatty acids relevant to feed and industrial use. All figures are indicative and confirmed on the certificate of analysis, making this oil a dependable feedstock for refineries, biodiesel producers and industrial processors.
Industrial & Commercial Applications
