进口大豆热损评估：损失分析及计算方法

Regarding the loss issue, we have noticed that the main problem with the goods is 'heat loss'. Imported soybeans are mainly used for producing soybean oil, with by-products being soybean meal and a very small amount of other products such as lecithin and soap nuts. However, the crude fat content index of heat-damaged soybeans is almost the same as that of normal soybeans, because even when crude fat is decomposed, some of its products can still be dissolved in solvents, resulting in almost no change in the test indicators. It is difficult to directly judge the loss through the test indicators of the goods.

According to relevant research such as 'Evaluation of Processing Losses of Microbial Spoiled Brazilian Soybeans' and 'Analysis of Factors Affecting the Depreciation of Imported Bulk Soybean Residues', compared with normal soybeans, the losses of heat-damaged soybeans mainly manifest in production and products. The production of such damaged soybeans may cause problems with product quality, reduced yield, increased consumption, etc. Different processing techniques and methods (such as whether to mix and process with normal soybeans and the mixing ratio) can lead to significant differences in the final calculated losses. Based on our experience, the usual method for calculating such cargo losses is to collect processing data of the damaged goods and compare it with the processing data of normal goods, in order to obtain the yield loss and processing cost loss.

However, since we currently do not know the next step of the consignee's handling of the goods and the extent of heat damage, we are unable to make an estimate of the losses at this time.
