Direct solvent extraction, referred to as "full" pressing or prepress-solvent extraction, can separate oil from soybeans. Some crushing industries combine these extraction methods to maximize oil extraction and its quality. Solvent extraction is the most widely used method for oil extraction in the Western world. However, mechanical extraction is often preferred by small extraction plants throughout the world to remove the oil.

To produce soybean oil, the soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture content, heated to between 60 and 88ºC (140-190°F), rolled into flakes, and solvent-extracted with hexanes. The oil is then refined, blended for different applications, and sometimes hydrogenated. Soybean oils, both liquid and partially hydrogenated are sold as "vegetable oil," or are ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. Most of the remaining residue (soybean meal) is used as animal feed.

That's soybean oil. Pretty much all vegetable oils besides olive oil are heavily processed in the same manner.

Soy flour refers to defatted soybeans ground finely enough to pass through a 100-mesh or smaller screen where special care was taken during desolventizing (not toasted) to minimize denaturation of the protein to retain a high Protein Dispersibility Index (PDI), for uses such as extruder cooking of textured vegetable protein. It is the starting material for production of soy concentrate and soy protein isolate.
