Soybean Oil And Tri-calcium Phosphate

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is a common cooking oil and an ingredient in many processed foods. Tri-calcium phosphate is a mineral salt, also known as calcium phosphate tribasic, that is naturally found in bones and teeth.

Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and processed foods. Tri-calcium phosphate is often added to foods as an anti-caking agent, to prevent powders from clumping together. It can also be used as a source of calcium and phosphorus.

Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Tri-calcium phosphate is also GRAS. Both are common food ingredients and are not associated with significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated calcium phosphates. There are no major controversies surrounding the use of these ingredients at typical levels.
