What it is
Coconut and soybean are two distinct plant-based ingredients. Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm tree, known for its white flesh and water. Soybean is a legume, widely cultivated for its versatile beans.
Why it's used
Coconut oil and soybean oil are commonly used as fats and oils in processed foods, contributing to texture and mouthfeel. They can also act as emulsifiers, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. These ingredients are frequently found in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy alternatives.
Health notes
Both coconut oil and soybean oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Soybean oil is a source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated soybean oil and set an acceptable daily intake. While some concerns exist regarding the balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the typical Western diet, moderate consumption of soybean oil as part of a balanced diet is not linked to adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Soybean is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Coconut is not considered a major allergen. Gluten is not present in either ingredient.
