Soybean Oil

SOYBEAN OIL is a Natural Refined Vegetable

Oil with a high content of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids.

The major unsaturated fatty acids in REFINED SOYBEAN

OIL triglycerides are 7% linolenic acid (C18:3); 51%

linoleic acid (C-18:2); and 23% oleic acid(C-18:1). It also contains the

saturated fatty acids stearic acid (4%) and 10% palmitic acid (10%).

SOYBEAN OIL is also rich in lecithin, sterolins, and vitamin E. Lecithin is needed

by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes. Lecithin

protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths

surrounding the brain. It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid,

choline, linoleic acid and inositol
