Our facility located in Newark, NJ, is registered by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as a drug repackaging establishment. The soybean oil is one of the many types we offer, from cooking soybean oil to the pharmaceutical grade one.

Soybean oil is the natural inexpensive oil extracted from whole soybeans. It is the most widely used oil in the United States, and is sold as either pure soybean oil or as a main ingredient in vegetable oil. Processed into margarine and shortenings, soybean oil's 85 percent unsaturated fat profile is among the highest of the vegetable oils. Soybean oil contains 61% polyunsaturated fat and 24% monounsaturated fat. Saturated fats in the diet can raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. So healthcare professionals recommend replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats as much as possible.

Soybean oil is a pale yellow oil. Consists of mostly glycerides of linoleic, oleic, linolenic and plamitic acids. Used in cosmetics as an emollient. Soybean oil is an inexpensive oil that is nutritious and has a high smoke point.

Soybean Oil is the refined fixed oil obtained from the seeds of the soya plant Glycine max Merr. (Fabaceae).
