Frequently Asked Questions
What vitamins does cold press soya oil contain?
Cold press soya oil is a good source of Vitamin E (primarily gamma-tocopherol), Vitamin K1, and small amounts of B vitamins. One tablespoon provides approximately 10 percent of the daily recommended Vitamin E intake. Vitamin E acts as a natural antioxidant that protects the oil from rancidity and provides cellular protection when consumed.
What are plant sterols and why are they important in soya oil?
Plant sterols (phytosterols) are compounds structurally similar to cholesterol that compete with cholesterol for absorption in the intestine. Cold press soya oil contains approximately 250 to 300 mg of phytosterols per 100 ml. Regular consumption of 2 grams of phytosterols daily (achievable through diet) can reduce LDL cholesterol by 5 to 15 percent.
How does cold press soya oil's nutritional profile compare to other oils?
Cold press soya oil has more Omega-3 ALA than mustard oil by volume but a less ideal Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio. It has more phytosterols than most oils. It has less Vitamin E than sunflower oil but better overall fatty acid balance. It has less saturated fat than coconut oil but lacks coconut oil's MCTs and lauric acid.
Is the lecithin in soya oil beneficial?
Yes. Cold press soya oil contains natural lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) which supports liver health, brain function, and fat metabolism. Lecithin is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for memory. It also acts as an emulsifier that helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
Does cold press soya oil contain isoflavones?
Cold press soya oil contains trace amounts of isoflavones (phytoestrogens), but the levels are much lower than in whole soybeans or soy protein products. The isoflavone content in soya oil is not considered clinically significant for most people, including those with hormone-sensitive conditions.
