The present invention relates to a method for processing soybean (or soya) material, which is mainly a mixture of soybean hypocotyls and soybean cracks. In particular, the present invention provides a method for separating a soybean hypocotyl fraction from a soybean crack fraction based on a difference in form, by subjecting said soybean material to a centrifugal force, preferably by use of an indented cylindrical device. On beforehand, it is preferable to remove the main part of the soybean hulls, soybean cotyledons, whole soybeans, and the larger soybean crack fraction from the soybean material by means of traditional separation methods based on differences in size and/or weight (e.g. aspiration). The invention also provides a soybean hypocotyl concentrate and uses thereof, e.g. for the preparation of a soybean hypocotyl (or germ or embryo) oil and/or food products.
