There are many unique trace nutrients in soybean oil, including phospholipids, carotene, vitamin E, sterols, etc. During the processing of soybean oil, some unique nutrients such as phospholipids will form black substances when cooking, so they will be removed in the refining stage, but the natural antioxidant vitamin E is well retained to ensure the good oxidative stability of soybean oil.

When making soup with fish or meat bones, adding appropriate amount of soybean oil can make a thick white soup, which is very tempting. However, soybean oil has a strong soybean flavor, which often affects the taste of the soup. If you add chopped green onions or peppercorns after heating the soybean oil, you can effectively remove the soybean flavor from the soybean oil, but the color of the soup will also become darker.

Is soybean oil delicious and healthy for high-temperature cooking?

Many people burn soybean oil until it emits green smoke when cooking. This can remove the bean smell in the soybean oil and make the dishes more delicious. Soybean oil will produce a large amount of carcinogens and trans fatty acids during the high-temperature cooking process. Excessive intake of trans fatty acids will increase the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, and will also interfere with the metabolism of essential fatty acids, affecting children's growth and development and the health of the nervous system. For the sake of health, it is recommended to use cold oil and hot pan when cooking, and the temperature should not be too high.
