What it is

Corn oil and soybean oil are common cooking oils made from corn kernels and soybeans, respectively. They are extracted from the seeds of these plants through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, followed by refining processes that remove impurities and odors.

Why it's used

These oils are widely used in processed foods due to their neutral flavor, relatively low cost, and versatility. They function as cooking mediums, carriers for flavors, and contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of products like baked goods, snacks, and salad dressings.

Health notes

Corn oil and soybean oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are part of a balanced diet. Both oils have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. Research on the health effects of consuming vegetable oils is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits from unsaturated fats while others raise questions about processing and specific fatty acid profiles.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Corn is not a major allergen.
