MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

Epoxidized soybean oil is manufactured from soybean oil through the process of epoxidation. 
Polyunsaturated vegetable oils are widely used as precursors to epoxidized oil products because they have high numbers of carbon-carbon double bonds available for epoxidation.
The epoxide group is more reactive than double bond, thus providing a more energetically favorable site for reaction and making the oil a good hydrochloric acid scavenger and plasticizer. 
Usually a peroxide or a peracid is used to add an atom of oxygen and convert the -C=C- bond to an epoxide group.
