What it is
Liquid soy oil, also known as soybean oil, is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States. The oil is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized to create a neutral flavor and stable product.
Why it's used
Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it suitable for frying, baking, and as a base for salad dressings and mayonnaise. Manufacturers use it for its fat content, which contributes to texture and mouthfeel.
Health notes
Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats than saturated fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soybean oil. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Soy is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Soybean oil is derived from soybeans and therefore is considered a major allergen.
