DO YOU KNOW WHAT HEXANE is ?
HEXANE — made from crude oil. Pure n-hexane is a colorless liquid with a slightly disagreeable odor. The major use for solvents containing hexane is to extract vegetable oils from crops such as soybeans. Inhaling hexane causes nerve damage and paralysis of the arms and legs. If hexane is spilled on the ground, most of it evaporates before it can soak into the soil. Hexane is not concentrated by plants, fish or animals. The most likely exposure to hexane is by breathing in air contaminated with hexane in the air. Since it is in gasoline, nearly everyone is exposed to very small amounts of hexane in the air. Exposure can occur at work and at home from using products containing hexane with proper ventilation.
Pea and Soy Protein are extracted with Hexane. Not all Hexane is removed and is a neurotoxin — no safe limits have been tested by the F.D.A ( Food & Drugs Administration)
