What it is
Soybean oil and canola oil are common vegetable oils used in cooking and food production. Soybean oil comes from soybeans, and canola oil comes from rapeseed. Both are extracted from the seeds and then refined to remove impurities.
Why it's used
These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in many processed foods. They provide a neutral flavor and smooth texture, acting as a base for dressings, sauces, and baked goods. Manufacturers also use them as emulsifiers to help blend ingredients like oil and water.
Health notes
Soybean and canola oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Both oils have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. Some research suggests potential benefits of unsaturated fats, while other studies explore the effects of processing. Evidence is mixed on the health impacts of highly refined oils.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Canola oil is not derived from any of the major allergens. Neither oil contains gluten.
