DESCRIPTION

High Oleic Soybean Oil (Unhydrogenated) occurs as a light amber colored oil. It is obtained from the seed of the legume Glycine max (Fam. Fabaceae), usually by solvent extraction. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and miscellaneous other non-oil materials. It is a liquid at 21° to 27° and remains so even at refrigerator temperatures (2° to 4°). It is free from visible foreign matter at 21° to 27°. It is distinguished from Soybean Oil (Unhydrogenated) by its characteristic level of 18:1 (oleic acid). It is distinguished from hydrogenated soybean oils by its characteristic level of 18:0 (stearic acid). It is distinguished from other high oleic vegetable oils by its characteristic levels of γ- and δ-tocopherols.
