Samples of crude and water‐degummed soybean oils were obtained from five commercial processors. period of at least 2 weeks between samples. The crude and degummed oils were analyzed for iron and phosphorus content. Phosphorus removal within each processing plant was consistent, but between plants removal varied from a low of 79% to a high of 95%. Removal of iron compounds during commercial degumming varied from a low of 14% to a high of 57%. Significance of these results in steam‐refining operations are discussed.
