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. It acts as a base for salad dressings and mayonnaise, and is used in baked goods, snacks, and fried foods. Its neutral flavor and liquid state at room temperature make it versatile.

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. While some research suggests a link between high intake of omega-6 fatty acids and inflammation, other studies indicate benefits from the overall fatty acid profile of soybean oil. JECFA has evaluated soybean oil and set an acceptable daily intake. EFSA has also evaluated soybean oil.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, individuals with a soy allergy should avoid it.
