What it is

Interesterified soybean oil is a type of soybean oil that has been modified through a process called interesterification. This process rearranges the fatty acids on the glycerol backbone of the oil. It is used to change the oil's physical properties, such as its melting point and texture, without significantly altering 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 or oil, providing structure and mouthfeel. It is often found in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and bread, as well as in some frozen doughs.

Health notes

Interesterified soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for interesterified soybean oil may vary. Current research suggests that interesterified fats behave similarly to other fats in the diet regarding effects on blood cholesterol. Evidence does not indicate significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Soybean is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, interesterified soybean oil is considered a major allergen.
