Global High Oleic Soybean Market

Amar0928 Mar, 2022News

The monounsaturated fat content of high oleic soybean oil is greater. Soybean oil with a high oleic content comes from three different types of soybeans, two of which were developed by transgenic genetic manipulation and the third from a native gene mutation. The transgenic versions reduce the expression of a gene that turns oleic fatty acid into another downstream form of oil using RNA interference, a genetic mechanism comparable to certain types of immune responses to viruses. As a result, the plant produces more oleic fatty acid. The mutations in the same gene are present in non-transgenic high oleic soybeans, lowering its expression and causing high quantities of oleic fatty acids to accumulate in the oil.
