进口大豆热损评估：损失计算方法及影响因素分析

Regarding losses, we've noticed that the main issue 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 no different from that of normal soybeans, because even if some of the crude fat is decomposed, its products can still dissolve in solvents, resulting in almost no change in the test index. It is difficult to directly judge the loss through the test index of the goods.

According to relevant studies such as 'Evaluation of Processing Losses of Microbial Spoilage Brazilian Soybeans' and 'Analysis of Factors Affecting the Depreciation of Imported Bulk Soybean Residues', compared with normal soybeans, the loss of heat-damaged soybeans is mainly reflected in production and products. Processing this kind of damaged soybeans may cause product quality problems, lower yields, and increase various consumption. Different processing techniques and handling methods (such as whether to mix with normal soybeans for processing and the mixing ratio) will result in significant differences in the final calculated loss. Based on our experience, the usual method for calculating this type of cargo loss is to collect processing data of damaged goods and compare it with that of normal goods to obtain product yield loss and processing cost loss.

As we currently do not know the next steps for handling the goods by the consignee and the extent of the heat damage, we are unable to estimate the losses at this time.
