What is Hexane?
Hexane is an organic
compound made of carbon
and hydrogen that is
most commonly isolated as a byproduct of petroleum and crude oil refinement.
At room temperature
it is an odorless, colorless liquid, and it has many uses in industry.
It is a very popular
solvent, for
instance, and is often used in industrial cleaners;
it is also
frequently used to extract oils from vegetables, particularly soybeans.
Most vehicle-grade
gasoline contains it, too.
Though most experts
say the compound is non-toxic and presents only low risks to humans and
animals, there is still a great deal of controversy in many places when it
comes to how often it is included, sometimes without full disclosure, in foods
and consumer products.
Now, how are
soybeans, used in the making of mayonnaise washed?
Hexane is used to
extract oils from vegetables, particularly soybeans.
