What it is
Soybean and cottonseed are both oilseeds. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans, which are legumes. Cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plants. Both oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized before use in food.
Why it's used
These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. They provide a neutral flavor and a smooth texture. You can find them in salad dressings, baked goods, fried foods, and snack items.
Health notes
Soybean and cottonseed oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Some research suggests that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats may have benefits for heart health. However, evidence is mixed on the long-term health effects of consuming large amounts of processed vegetable oils. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic.
