Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean Oil
What is Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean Oil?
Partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil is a type of fat made from liquid cottonseed and soybean oils. These oils undergo a process called partial hydrogenation, which changes their chemical structure to make them more solid at room temperature. This process also creates artificial trans fats.
Is Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean Oil vegan?
Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean Oil is not animal-derived. Products that contain it can still include other animal-derived ingredients, so check the full ingredient list.
Is Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean 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 Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean Oil used for?
Manufacturers historically used partially hydrogenated oils to improve the texture and stability of food products, and to extend their shelf life.
Is Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soy Bean Oil safe?
The FDA determined that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) as of 2018.
Why it's used
Manufacturers historically used partially hydrogenated oils to improve the texture and stability of food products, and to extend their shelf life. They were commonly found in baked goods, fried foods, and some processed snacks.
Health notes
The FDA determined that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) as of 2018. This action effectively removed most artificial trans fats, which are formed during partial hydrogenation, from the US food supply. Artificial trans fats have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. JECFA has evaluated trans fatty acids, and EFSA has also provided scientific opinions on them.
