Sojabønneolie

Sojabønneolie, also known as soybean oil, is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely consumed cooking oils globally due to its affordability and versatility. The oil is typically produced through a process of crushing soybeans followed by solvent extraction. The resulting crude oil is then refined to remove impurities, resulting in a clear, light-yellow liquid.

Sojabønneolie is a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), and also contains monounsaturated fatty acids. It has a relatively high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods including frying, baking, and sautéing. It is also a common ingredient in many processed foods, salad dressings, margarines, and shortenings. Beyond culinary uses, soybean oil finds applications in industries such as biodiesel production and the manufacturing of paints, plastics, and soaps. Its neutral flavor profile allows it to be used without significantly altering the taste of food products.
