Soybean oil is extracted from the seed of the soybean plant (Glycine max). It is a widely used edible oil in cooking, food processing and industrial formulations, with a relatively neutral flavour and a fatty-acid profile suited to refining.
Usage areas
- Cooking oils, margarine, shortening and processed foods after refining
- Food manufacturing where a stable, versatile vegetable oil is required
- Industrial uses including biodiesel and oleochemical applications
- Paired with soybean meal from the same seed after extraction
