Hexane is a byproduct of gasoline process known as the neurotoxic petrochemical solvent. It is used to separate edible oils from vegetables and seeds. Hexane is a neurotoxic, synthetic, explosive, and a hazardous air pollutant chemical listed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Many companies are using ingredients and developing products that are processed with hexane. Hexane is a common processing agent for soy meal, soy oil and soy food ingredients that separate beans into fats and proteins. Although, hexane is treated as a processing agent, not as an ingredient in food. Therefore, manufacturers are not required to disclose it to consumers such as wholesalers, distributors or retailers. Moreover, owing to less regulation to test products for hexane residues by regulatory bodies, some companies are still processing proteins through hexane. Thus, it is a responsibility of individual companies to source protein ingredients that the with the alternative procedure. Hexane free soy products contain maximum 80% of protein and minimum 17% of fats. The most refined and purest form of hexane free proteins such as soy protein is the dry powder which is extracted from the remaining oil of soybean.
