Latest News and Developments:
Refined soybean oil is a pale yellow, odorless liquid derived from the seeds of the soybean plant (Glycine max). The production process involves solvent extraction, followed by degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities and improve oxidative stability. The oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acids, and contains natural antioxidants like tocopherols. It is extensively used in the food industry for cooking, frying, and salad dressings due to its high smoke point and neutral taste. Beyond culinary applications, refined soybean oil serves as a key feedstock for biodiesel production and is also utilized in cosmetics, lubricants, paints, and soaps. Its emollient properties make it valuable in pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. The product’s wide availability, cost-effectiveness, and favorable fatty acid profile continue to strengthen its position as one of the most consumed edible oils worldwide.
