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. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it suitable for frying, baking, and as a base for salad dressings and sauces. It also functions as an emulsifier and can improve the texture of baked goods.

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, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soybean oil. Some research suggests a high intake of omega-6 fatty acids relative to omega-3s may be linked to inflammation, but evidence is mixed and dietary context is important.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, it is considered a major allergen.
