What it is

Pure 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 before being used in food products.

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 a common choice for frying, baking, and as a base for salad dressings and sauces. It also functions as an emulsifier and helps improve the texture of various food products.

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 compared to saturated fats. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soybean oil. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Some research suggests that high intake of polyunsaturated fats may play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease, but evidence is mixed regarding specific types of fats and long-term health outcomes.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. While highly refined soybean oil typically has the allergenic protein removed, individuals with severe soy allergies may still react.
