The fate of Jimsonweed seed alkaloids (atropine and scopolamine) during solvent extraction of contaminated soybeans and alkali refining of crude oil was investigated. Extraction of a 50:50 mixture of soybeans and Jimsonweed seeds with petroleum ether yielded meal and crude oil fractions, in which chemical analyses showed that vitrually all the atropine and scopolamine remained in the meal. Alkali refining effectively removed atropine added to crude soybean oil.
