What it is
Set in soybean oil is a blend of ingredients, including soybean oil, that is used to improve the texture and stability of processed foods. Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. The "set" likely refers to a formulation designed to provide a specific texture or consistency.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use set in soybean oil to enhance the mouthfeel and shelf-life of various food products. It can act as a binder, emulsifier, or texturizer, helping to keep ingredients combined and prevent separation. It is commonly found in frozen meals, baked goods, and snack foods.
Health notes
Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated soybean oil and its components. While generally considered safe, like all fats, excessive consumption should be avoided as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, foods containing set in soybean oil may be a concern for individuals with soy allergies.
