GENERAL INFORMATION
Our Refined Edible soybean Oil is fully refined deodorized pure Soybean Oil with all the impurities removed to insure the highest quality, versatility and flexibility.
It has excellent stability characteristics with a bland flavor and exceptionally good shelf life.
Our Refined Edible Soybean Oil is used widely in the preparation of Mayonnaise and salad dressings, in the baking industry, and for the packing of sardines, tuna and other fish products. Also as a foam arrester in the preparation of yeast, sugar, pencillin, streptomycin, and other antibiotics, and as a vitamin vehicle.
