From the 1992 Hive and the Honey Bee, pp. 215-221:
Erickson and Herbert in 1980 ABJ 120, pp. 122-126 concluded:
1. Soyflour should be fully toasted to remove trypsin inhibitors
2. Soyflour should have a fast content about 7% if fed without pollen
3. Soyflour should have a fat content of about 0.5%-1% if fed with 10-20%
pollen, as in pollen supplement
4. Soyflour should have a high protein content (about 45-60%)
Expeller processing and solvent processing leave different amounts of fat
in the resulting product...it is presumably the fat content not presence of
contaminates that is important...
There is good in-depth information in the chapter cited.
