Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main health benefits of cold press soya oil?
Cold press soya oil is one of the richest plant-based sources of Omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), providing approximately 7 to 8 percent ALA content. It also contains Vitamin E, Vitamin K, phytosterols that lower LDL cholesterol, and lecithin which supports brain and liver health. Its balanced Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio of approximately 7:1 is better than most refined vegetable oils.
Is cold press soya oil good for heart health?
Yes. Cold press soya oil's phytosterols block cholesterol absorption in the intestine, reducing LDL cholesterol by 5 to 15 percent with regular consumption. Its Omega-3 content reduces inflammation, and its Vitamin E protects against LDL oxidation. Multiple studies support soya oil's cardiovascular benefits when used as part of a balanced diet.
What is the smoke point of cold press soya oil?
Cold press soya oil has a smoke point of approximately 160 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for medium-heat cooking, sauteing, and baking. For high-heat Indian cooking like deep frying or tadka, cold press mustard oil with its 250 degree smoke point is more appropriate.
How does cold press soya oil compare to refined soya oil?
Cold press soya oil retains its natural Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, phytosterols, and lecithin. Refined soya oil loses most of these during high-heat processing and solvent extraction. Refined soya oil also typically has added antioxidants like TBHQ to prevent rancidity, which are absent in cold press versions.
Is soya oil safe for people with soy allergies?
Highly refined soya oil is generally considered safe for most people with soy allergies because the refining process removes the proteins that trigger allergic reactions. However, cold press soya oil retains more protein fragments and may not be safe for people with severe soy allergies. Consult your allergist before consuming cold press soya oil if you have a soy allergy.
