What it is

Interesterified soybean oil is a type of vegetable oil made from soybeans. It is produced by rearranging the fatty acids on the glycerol backbone of soybean oil molecules through a process called interesterification. This process changes the physical properties of the oil, such as its melting point and texture.

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 a smooth mouthfeel and preventing ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and in frozen desserts.

Health notes

Interesterified soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fats and oils. Research on the health effects of interesterified fats at typical consumption levels is ongoing, and some studies suggest they may affect cholesterol levels differently than other fats. However, evidence is mixed, and more research is needed to fully understand the long-term health impacts.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, interesterified soybean oil is considered a major allergen.
