Biodiesel fuel (BDF) has been made by transesterification of extracted oil of soybean oil sediment with methanol in the presence of KOH as catalyst.

The soybean phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol were prepared by combining methods of solvents extraction and silica gel column chromatography from soybean oil sediment.

Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through water-saturated rock and sediment.
