What it is
Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States. The oil is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized before being used in food products.
Why it's used
Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It functions as a fat or oil, providing texture, mouthfeel, and acting as a carrier for flavors. It is commonly found in salad dressings, baked goods, snacks, and fried foods.
Health notes
Soybean oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats than saturated fats. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soybean oil. Research on the health effects of soybean oil consumption is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits for heart health, while others raise questions about its omega-6 fatty acid content.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic because the protein responsible for allergic reactions is typically removed during processing.
