About soybean oil

Where it comes from

A soja cultivada hoje descende de plantas silvestres rasteiras da costa leste da Ásia, ao longo do rio Yangtsé, na China, segundo a Embrapa. No Brasil, a produção comercial ganhou importância estratégica a partir de 1966, quando o país já produzia cerca de 500 mil toneladas do grão.

Who eats it, in Brazil

A produção brasileira de óleo de soja se mede em milhões de toneladas por ano. Segundo a Conab, a safra 2024/25 deve elevar a produção nacional de óleo de soja para 11,37 milhões de toneladas, puxada pelo aumento do esmagamento do grão.

What it is for in the diet

Na alimentação, o óleo de soja é usado como óleo de cozinha e como matéria-prima para margarinas e maioneses. A Embrapa registra que, no início dos anos 80, a soja ainda era vista basicamente como fonte de óleo comestível e ração animal. Segundo o IBGE, o óleo vegetal responde por 7,7% das calorias totais consumidas pelos brasileiros.

When it is used

O óleo de soja refinado é usado em frituras por imersão. Um estudo publicado na SciELO avaliou seu uso em fritura de imersão intermitente, em restaurante universitário, sob temperatura controlada entre 170 e 180 graus Celsius, por um período de 30 horas antes da troca do óleo.

A detail almost nobody tells

Boa parte do óleo de soja vendido no Brasil não é extraída só por prensagem: segundo a Embrapa, ele também é obtido por extração com um solvente químico orgânico, o hexano, que tem ponto de ebulição próximo de 70 graus Celsius e é recuperado ao final do processo industrial.

How to read this data

The composition reference gives amounts per 100 g of the edible part, in the form of the food indicated by its name. A raw version is not equivalent to the same mass already cooked: water, preparation, salt, oil and fillings can change the results.

A zero value in the catalog does not guarantee absolute absence of the nutrient. Darwin's numbers are a reference reading and do not replace the product packaging or an individual nutritional assessment.
