The effects of soybean pretreatments, including infrared (IR) radiation, oven toasting, microwave heating and live steam treatment on crude oil quality were investigated. Free fatty acid, oxidation value, carbonyl value and tocopherol content were used to monitor crude soybean oil quality. All soybean pretreatments were effective in improving the quality of oils from 15 and 18% moisture beans. Based on the analyses, recommended treatments are 3–4 min for IR at 220V–250W; 1 min for microwave heating at 650 W–2450 mHz; 1–1.5 min for steam heating; and 100–120°C, 30 min for oven toasting. Heat treatment of high‐moisture soybeans before extraction yielded crude oil with a lower content of phosphatidic acid as compared to that of the untreated beans.
