What is soy-bean oil?

Soy-bean oil, like all fats and vegetable oils, is a triglyceride – glycerine skeleton attached to three fatty acids by ester-links. Soybean oil is characterized by a high proportion of linoleic acid (50-55%) and oleic acid (19-25%). Other fatty acids present in significant amounts are:

CAS number: 8001-22-7
EC number: 232-274-4

Origin and production of soybean oil

Soybean oil is obtained by extracting the seeds of the soya bean (Glycine max), a leguminous plant native to East Asia, although it is currently cultivated intensively worldwide due to its various uses and applications.

In some cases, these monoculture plantations have been featured in the mainstream media because of the extensive deforestation to which they have subjected the Amazon forests.

Soybean oil properties and applications

Soybean oil is a pale yellowish liquid at room temperature. Its melting range is between -5 and -16 ºC more or less.

Among its many applications, and like the vast majority of fats, it is used for human consumption.

They are an important source of energy, due to their high calorie yield per gram metabolised. Its most important use is in cooking, especially as oil for frying or grilling. Its use has spread rapidly from the East to the West due to the versatility of the oil and the easy adaptability of the plant.

Other very important applications are in the field of medicine and in almost all known industries, from cosmetics to animal feed, although its derivatives are also widely used as alternative fuels (biodiesel), soaps, lubricants, surfactants, advanced detergents, paints, dyes, insecticides, soaps, veterinary, among many others.
