What it is

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 seeds are typically cleaned, dehulled, and then crushed or extracted using solvents to yield the oil.

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. It also functions as an emulsifier and helps improve texture in 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, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated soybean oil and established an acceptable daily intake. While generally considered healthy in moderation as part of a balanced diet, some research explores the effects of high omega-6 intake, though evidence is mixed and ongoing.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
