What it is

Interesterified soybean oil is a type of vegetable oil made from soybeans. It is produced by a process called interesterification, which rearranges the fatty acids on the glycerol backbone of the oil. This process changes the oil's physical properties, such as its melting point and texture, without changing its chemical composition.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use interesterified soybean oil to improve the texture and stability of food products. It can act as a fat replacer, providing a similar mouthfeel to butter or shortening. It is commonly found in baked goods, margarines, and processed foods.

Health notes

Interesterified soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated similar modified fats. Research on the health effects of interesterified fats is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential impacts on cholesterol levels, though evidence is mixed and often depends on the specific type of interesterification and the resulting fatty acid profile.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, products containing interesterified soybean oil may be a concern for individuals with soy allergies.
