Blend Of Palm & Soya Oil

This ingredient is a mixture of oils derived from two different plants: palm trees and soybeans. Palm oil comes from the fruit of oil palms, while soybean oil is extracted from soybean seeds. The blend is created to achieve specific functional properties in food products.

Manufacturers use this blend as a fat source in baked goods, providing texture, richness, and moisture. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to combine oil and water-based ingredients. It is commonly found in cakes, cupcakes, and snack cakes.

Palm and soybean oils are common food ingredients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers soybean oil to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Palm oil is also widely used and accepted. Both are sources of fat, and like all fats, should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated fats and oils, but specific numeric limits are not typically set for these common food ingredients.
