1. Reception and conditioning. Soybeans from Paraguayan fields arrive at the plant, are sorted by moisture and purity and conditioned (cleaning, partial dehulling and flaking) to prepare for extraction.
2. Oil extraction. The flaked soybean goes through extraction, which separates the oil from the solid protein fraction (defatted soybean cake). This fraction is the feedstock for HiPro meal.
3. Controlled thermal toasting (deactivation). The defatted cake undergoes a heat treatment with controlled temperature and time that inactivates trypsin inhibitor and other antinutritional factors, without over-toasting or damaging lysine. This is the stage that defines the HiPro grade and is monitored by urease activity and KOH solubility.
4. Milling, quality control and dispatch. The toasted meal is ground to the required particle size, parameters are checked one by one (protein, moisture, fiber, ash, urease, KOH) and the product is dispatched in bulk with per-lot analytical documentation.
