Interesterfied Soybean Oil
What is Interesterfied Soybean Oil?
Interesterified soybean oil is a type of fat made from soybean oil. It is produced by a process called interesterification, which rearranges the fatty acids within the oil molecules. This process changes the oil's physical properties, such as its melting point, without creating artificial trans fats.
Is Interesterfied Soybean Oil vegan?
Interesterfied Soybean Oil is not animal-derived. Products that contain it can still include other animal-derived ingredients, so check the full ingredient list.
Is Interesterfied Soybean Oil a major allergen?
This ingredient is derived from soy, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
What is Interesterfied Soybean Oil used for?
Manufacturers use interesterified soybean oil to achieve specific textures and consistencies in food products.
Is Interesterfied Soybean Oil safe?
In the United States, interesterified soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use interesterified soybean oil to achieve specific textures and consistencies in food products. It often serves as a replacement for partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) or solid fats like butter and lard. It is commonly found in baked goods, snack foods, margarines, and shortenings.
Health notes
In the United States, interesterified soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is widely used as an alternative to partially hydrogenated oils, which were a significant source of artificial trans fats and are no longer considered GRAS by the FDA since 2018. Unlike PHOs, interesterified soybean oil does not contain artificial trans fats. Scientific reviews, including those considered by EFSA, have generally concluded that interesterified fats, when replacing PHOs, do not pose the same health concerns related to trans fat intake.
