The first domestication of soybean has been traced to the eastern half of North China in the eleventh century B.C. or perhaps a bit earlier.Unlike the seeds of most other legumes (except the peanut), the soybean is rich in oil, and is often called an "oilseed." The value of the soybean, is that it contains about 18% oil and 35% protein. Hydrogenation is the process of the Soybean oil that In the catalytic hydrogenation phase, hydrogen gas is agitated in hot liquid oil, usually under pressure, in the presence of a catalyst, typically powdered nickel. Hydrogen atoms are added to some of the double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acids in the oil. The more unsaturated fatty acids (such as the triunsaturated fatty acid or triene linolenic) are generally hydrogenated first; each double bond can take up two hydrogen atoms. Linolenic (18:3) that has one double bond hydrogenated becomes linoleic (18:2). A saturated fatty acid (such as palmitic 16:0 or stearic 18:0) has all the hydrogen it can hold. In soaps this makes for a great bar of lather and moisture enhancing soap. Research shows that Linoleic acid is a surfactant (thereby enhancing soaps), and points to linoleic acid's anti-inflammatory, acne reductive, and moisture retentive properties when applied topically on the skin.
