  • What is cold pressed oil?
  • Cold-pressed oil is a pure, nutrient-rich oil extracted through a mechanical process that preserves its natural flavour, aroma, and nutritional value. Unlike refined oils, cold pressing uses controlled pressure without heat or chemicals, ensuring that essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins remain intact.
  • Are cold pressed soybean oils solvent-extracted?
  • Commercial soybean oils are commonly solvent-extracted and refined due to their high phosphatides contents. Hence, few studies exist on characterization of cold pressed soybean oils in the literature.
  • Are cold pressed soybean oils toxic?
  • Compared to other cold pressed oils, the characterization and toxicological studies dealing with soybean oils are very limited. Therefore, further investigations should be carried out to find out the other contaminants and compounds, which may exhibit health-related problems in cold pressed soybean oils.
  • Does cold pressed soybean oil contain trans fatty acids?
  • However, Brühl (1996) detected the presence of trans fatty acids (0.10%–0.15%) in cold pressed soybean oils. The author thus stated that trans fatty acids may occur due to high temperature drying of seeds before cold pressing and/or deodorization of cold pressed soybean oils or blending of cold pressed oils with refined ones.
  • Why is cold pressed soybean oil a limiting factor?
  • However, the cold pressing technique does not allow to use high temperature processes, so that enzyme activity maintains in cold pressed soybean oils. This is the essential limiting factor for use of the cold pressing method in soybean oils. 3. Fatty acids and acyl lipids
  • Is cold pressed soybean oil linoleic?
  • One of these studies revealed that cold pressed soybean oil consists of linoleic (50.8%), oleic (24.6%), palmitic (10.2%), linolenic (7.6%), stearic (3.7%), and vaccenic (1.5%) acids, and trace amounts of myristic, palmitoleic, heptadecanoic, arachidic, eicosenoic, behenic, erucic, and lignoceric acids ( Tuberoso et al., 2007 ).
