Soybean Oil By G. S. Oils Limited

Soybean oil is one the most widely used oils in the manufacture of margarine, vegetable oil, and shortening. In fact, in the United States, soybean oil is used more often than any other oil in the production of commercially prepared food items that contain oil. It has long been one of the top favourites for use in Chinese cooking.

In the United States, soybean oil is highly refined and has a high smoke point, making it a good all-purpose cooking oil. The generic brands of vegetable oil are often 100% soybean oil or they may be a blend of several highly refined oils. Soybean oil is inexpensive and has several healthy attributes including high levels of polyunsaturated (including omega-3 fatty acid) and monounsaturated fats and it is fairly low in saturated fat.

Common Uses: Cooking, salad dressings, production of vegetable oil, margarine, and shortening.
