Canola High Oleic Soybean

High oleic soybean oil is a type of soybean oil that has been bred or modified to have a higher concentration of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat. It is produced from soybeans through standard oil extraction and refining processes. This oil is chosen for its improved stability and longer shelf life compared to conventional soybean oil.

Manufacturers use high oleic soybean oil for its heat stability and neutral flavor, making it suitable for frying and baking. It can also function as an emulsifier and contribute to the texture of food products. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, and processed foods where oil stability is important.

High oleic soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other vegetable oils, it is a source of fat and calories. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have established upper intake levels for total fat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with high oleic soybean oil at normal consumption levels.
