Case Study

Soybean Oil Used for the Synthesis of Acrylated Soybean Oil via a One-Step BF₃·Et₂O-Catalyzed Reaction

Zhang, Pei, and Jinwen Zhang. Green Chemistry 15.3 (2013): 641-645.

A novel and efficient one-step acrylation method for soybean oil (SO) was developed using acrylic acid (AA) under the catalysis of boron trifluoride etherate (BF₃·Et₂O), enabling the direct synthesis of acrylated soybean oil (ASO). The process involved charging SO and AA into a reaction vessel, followed by the addition of BF₃·Et₂O as the catalyst. Reaction conditions, including reactant ratios, catalyst loading, and time, were systematically varied to optimize the conversion of double bonds to acrylate functionalities.
For small-scale reactions, excess AA and catalyst were removed post-reaction by washing with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. For larger-scale reactions, a more refined work-up involving vacuum distillation at 35-45 °C was applied, allowing recovery and reuse of unreacted AA and catalyst.
Conversion efficiency was monitored using 1H NMR spectroscopy. A key observation was that low catalyst concentrations yielded negligible ASO due to insufficient activation. An optimal catalyst loading (0.27 eq.) achieved a moderate 35.5% conversion within 2 hours. However, higher catalyst levels led to reduced efficiency, likely due to inactive complex formation between BF₃ and AA. Increasing AA content significantly enhanced conversion, reaching up to 80.3% after 24 hours when AA was present in 27.4-fold excess. Scale-up trials confirmed the method's efficiency, yielding 75.7% conversion at 6 hours.
This streamlined approach offers a scalable and recoverable method for producing ASO, a key intermediate in bio-based polymer synthesis.

Soybean Oil Used as a Plasticizer in the Preparation of Conductive CB-PLA Filaments for 3D-Printed Electrochemical Sensors

Silva, Luiz RG, et al. Electrochimica Acta 513 (2025): 145566.

A novel and sustainable method was developed for fabricating flexible conductive filaments composed of carbon black (CB), polylactic acid (PLA), and soybean oil, tailored for 3D printing electrochemical sensors. In this process, soybean oil serves as a cost-effective, solvent-free plasticizer that enhances the flexibility and processability of the CB-PLA composite.
To prepare the composite, 40 g of CB and PLA (in a 20:80 weight ratio) were first weighed. Soybean oil was then added at 15 wt% relative to the total mass of CB and PLA, yielding a 6 g addition. The components were manually mixed with a glass rod and heated on a hot plate to ~150 °C, inducing partial melting and forming a homogeneous semi-paste.
After cooling, the material was broken into smaller pieces and pulverized using a coffee grinder to ensure thorough homogenization. This powder was subsequently extruded to produce flexible conductive filaments suitable for fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing.
Soybean oil played a critical role in improving filament flexibility without the need for organic solvents, aligning with green chemistry principles. The resulting filaments demonstrated sufficient mechanical integrity and conductivity for use in fabricating electrochemical sensors, showcasing the viability of soybean oil as a functional additive in biodegradable and conductive polymer composites.
This work highlights soybean oil's dual role in sustainability and functionality in the additive manufacturing of advanced sensing materials.

Soybean Oil Used for the Preparation of α-Tocopherol-Loaded Oleogels with Enhanced Stability via Monostearin Structuring

Monto, Abdul Razak, et al. LWT 187 (2023): 115325.

Soybean oil was utilized as the lipid matrix for the preparation of α-tocopherol-loaded oleogels, structured using varying concentrations of monostearin to evaluate the oleogel's physicochemical properties and the stability of α-tocopherol under light exposure. This study aimed to develop stable delivery systems for lipophilic bioactives in food and nutraceutical applications.
Oleogels were fabricated by dissolving α-tocopherol (1 g) in soybean oil (10 g), followed by the addition of monostearin in different amounts (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 g). The mixtures were heated at 80 °C to ensure complete solubilization, then incubated at 4 °C for 12 h to induce gelation. Structural analyses via optical microscopy, Cryo-SEM, and XRD confirmed the formation of needle-like and lamellar crystal networks, indicating efficient oil structuring by monostearin.
As monostearin concentration increased, the oleogels exhibited significant improvements (P < 0.05) in oil binding capacity, whiteness, and gel strength. Thermo-rheological tests revealed pseudo-plastic behavior with shear-thinning characteristics, suitable for various formulations. Most importantly, higher monostearin content resulted in significantly enhanced α-tocopherol retention over 15 days of light exposure.
This work demonstrates soybean oil's effectiveness as a base material for functional oleogels, where structured lipid systems offer a promising strategy for stabilizing sensitive lipophilic nutrients like α-tocopherol in food-grade delivery matrices.
