Global Acidulated Soapstock Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025
Research SummaryAcidulated soapstock is a byproduct of the vegetable oil refining process, particularly in the production of edible oils like soybean, sunflower, or palm oil. It is formed during the neutralization step of oil refining, where caustic soda or sodium hydroxide is used to remove free fatty acids and other impurities from crude oil. Acidulated soapstock contains fatty acids, soaps, phospholipids, and other impurities that are insoluble in the oil and form a soap layer during neutralization. To separate the soapstock from the oil, sulfuric acid is added to the mixture, causing the soaps to precipitate out as a solid or semi-solid material. The resulting acidulated soapstock is then separated from the oil and further processed or discarded. Acidulated soapstock can be processed into valuable products like fatty acids, biodiesel, or animal feed ingredients. It is also used as a raw material in industries such as soap manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
