Lotte Food Launches 'Premium Soybean Cooking Oil 3.0' with High Oleic Soybean Oil

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Sunghye] Lotte Food is expanding its product lineup of oil suitable for frying, ‘High Oleic Soybean Oil’.

On the 2nd, Lotte Food announced that it will launch ‘Premium Soybean Cooking Oil 3.0’ through a technical partnership with the global edible oil company Bunge.

In May, Lotte Food collaborated with Bunge to release Korea’s first ‘Lotte High Oleic Soybean Oil.’ In April, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety established standards for ‘High Oleic Soybean Oil,’ allowing domestic production and sale of soybean oil made from soybeans with increased oleic acid content suitable for frying.

The newly launched Premium Soybean Cooking Oil 3.0 is a cooking oil made by mixing regular soybean cooking oil and the premium variety ‘High Oleic Soybean Cooking Oil’ at a 7:3 ratio. This product retains the advantages of high oleic soybean oil, which allows stable frying, while offering a more reasonable price for versatile use.

Premium Soybean Cooking Oil 3.0 features a high oleic acid fatty acid content, providing excellent oxidative stability that enables crispier frying. Using the same amount, more food can be cooked for a longer time, resulting in cost savings and resource conservation. In addition to oxidative stability, it has high thermal stability, minimizing quality changes in the oil during cooking and maintaining a consistent flavor. The oxidation of the finished dish occurs relatively slowly, allowing the taste immediately after cooking to be stably preserved for a longer time.

Premium Soybean Cooking Oil 3.0 is launched as an 18ℓ large-capacity product suitable for restaurants, dining franchises, and food material marts. It is expected to have high demand from businesses such as chicken shops and confectionery companies that use large amounts of oil for frying and stir-frying. In addition to this product, new products mixing high oleic soybean oil with other oils such as canola oil are planned for future release.

Bunge, collaborating with Lotte Food, is a global edible oil production and supply company with a diverse lineup ranging from bakery products to cooking oils. Lotte Food plans to continue strengthening its technological competitiveness and introduce new edible oil lineups through ongoing collaboration with Bunge.
