Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil
What is Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil?
Hydrogenated cottonseed oil is a fat derived from cottonseed oil, which comes from the seeds of the cotton plant. The hydrogenation process adds hydrogen atoms to the oil, changing its chemical structure to make it more solid and stable at room temperature.
Is Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil vegan?
Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil is not animal-derived. Products that contain it can still include other animal-derived ingredients, so check the full ingredient list.
Is Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil a major allergen?
Not a major allergen.
What is Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil used for?
Manufacturers add hydrogenated cottonseed oil to foods to improve texture, provide structure, and extend shelf life.
Is Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil safe?
Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which were a major source of artificial trans fat, are no longer considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA since 2018.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add hydrogenated cottonseed oil to foods to improve texture, provide structure, and extend shelf life. It is often used in baked goods, snack foods, and processed items like pizza, cakes, and frozen appetizers, where a solid or semi-solid fat is desired.
Health notes
Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which were a major source of artificial trans fat, are no longer considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA since 2018. This action effectively removed most artificial trans fat from the US food supply due to its link to increased risk of heart disease. Fully hydrogenated oils, which contain very little to no trans fat, are chemically different and do not carry the same health concerns as PHOs. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated hydrogenated oils.
