What it is
Fractionated palm and soybean oils are vegetable oils that have been processed to separate them into different components. This is done through a process called fractionation, which uses temperature changes to isolate specific fat components. The resulting oils have different melting points and textures.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use these oils for their specific functional properties, such as improving texture, preventing separation, and extending shelf life. They are often found in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in chocolate and other confectionery products.
Health notes
Fractionated palm and soybean oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily composed of fats, and like all fats, should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for this blend are not widely publicized.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. Palm oil is not a major allergen. Gluten is not present.
