| 1 | Degummed soy oil | Sometimes referred to as crude degummed soy oil; The product resulting from washing crude soy oil with water and/or steam or another degumming agent for a specified period of time and then separating the oil-and-water mixture, usually by centrifugation, to remove the phosphatides. | (unspecified) |
| 2 | Degumming | The removal of phospholipids from vegetable oil by a water washing step. | (unspecified) |
| 3 | Deodorizing | A process involving use of high vacuum and superheated steam in washing of fats and oils. Deodorization removes from fats and oils materials originally present or introduced during previous processing which would contribute objectionable flavors and odors to the finished product. | (unspecified) |
| 4 | Desolventizer-toaster | Equipment for removing solvent from defatted flakes and for heating flakes sufficiently to overcome growth inhibition properties; the heating medium is steam. | (unspecified) |
| 5 | Diglyceride | A chemical combination of fatty acids and glycerine in the proportion of two fatty acid units to one glycerine unit. A diglyceride may result from the combination of the units or by splitting off one fatty acid unit from a triglyceride during fat breakdown or hydrolysis. | (unspecified) |
| 6 | Drying oil | An oil which is very easily oxidized and polymerized on exposure to air or oxygen. It is characterized by a shortage of hydrogen atoms in its fatty acid makeup and readily unites with oxygen to remedy this "unsaturation". The oxidation process results in formation of tough films or coatings of polymerized oil which may be used to fix or set pigments, as in paints. | (unspecified) |
| 7 | Edamame (Japanese) | See Green vegetable soybeans | (unspecified) |
| 8 | Edible crude soy oil | Soy oil which shall be of any of the following designated types produced from mature yellow soybeans: (1) expeller pressed, (2) expeller pressed degummed, (3) hydraulic pressed, (4) hydraulic pressed degummed, (5) solvent extracted, (6) solvent extracted degummed and (7) mixtures of any of the above-described types. When the oil is produced by solvent extraction, the name of the solvent used in the process must be given. | (unspecified) |
| 9 | Emulsifier | A material capable of causing fat or oils to remain in liquid suspension. | AAFCO, 2000 |
| 10 | Endosperm | Starchy portion of seed. | AAFCO, 2000 |
