Product Description

RBD soybean oil refers to refined, bleached, and deodorized soybean oil which is a commonly used cooking oil produced from soybeans following the refining process. It is then washed by various solutions to eliminate substances that are not wanted in it such as the free fatty acids, phospholipids, and pigments. After this, it is bleached to clean it even further through adsorbing any colors that may still be present or other forms of impurities. The last process is deodorization where some volatile compounds that might have some impact on its taste and flavors are eliminated thus giving it a neutral flavor that can be used in the preparation of different dishes.

RBD soybean oil is recommended because of the high smoke point, which allows it to be used for deep-frying and other high-temperature cooking without compromising on flavor. It is also completely tasteless which means that it can be used in all kinds of meals, both in savory meals and sweet ones, and thus does not interfere with a dish’s natural flavors. In terms of nutritional quality, it included healthy unsaturated fatty acids such as omega 3 fatty acids, and omega 6 fatty acids that are good for the heart. As a result, RBD soybean oil finds extensive applications in homes, hotels, and food processing companies across the globe.
