SOYBEAN OIL REACHES NEW HEIGHTS CONSUMERS WANT TO EAT HEALTHIER Soybean oil is one of the most abundant vegetable oils in the world.

Conventional soybean oil contributes 0 grams trans fat per serving and is a principal source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3, in the U.S. diet.

The soybean industry is committed to making it easier for food companies to deliver products that meet consumer health and nutrition needs starting with better-for-you oil solutions.

2 SOYBEAN OIL REACHES NEW HEIGHTS CONSUMERS WANT TO EAT HEALTHIER Soybean oil is one of the most abundant vegetable oils in the world. In fact, most vegetable oil available on grocery store shelves is U.S.-grown 100 percent soybean oil. Conventional soybean oil contributes 0 grams trans fat per serving and is a principal source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3, in the U.S. diet. People want to eat healthier and are looking for simple ways to do it. The soybean industry is committed to making it easier for food companies to deliver products that meet consumer health and nutrition needs starting with better-for-you oil solutions. New soybean varieties produce oils with an improved fat profile and functionality. 8% 8% of Americans state that nutrition is very or somewhat important when selecting grocery items. 2 83% 83% of Americans express concern about the nutritional content of the food they eat. 2 Improvements in the health profile of soybean oil could positively impact the public due to its anticipated extensive use in the foodservice and food manufacturing industries. It is important for health professionals to be aware of these improvements and what they mean to their patients and clients. 63% 63% of Americans have changed their eating habits in the past three to five years due to health and nutrition concerns. 2 U.S. EDIBLE VEGETABLE OIL CONSUMPTION1 MARKET SHARE Soy 56.5% OIL VARIETY 56.5% Soy 14.1% Canola 10.7% Corn 7.5% Palm 3.2% Coconut 2% Olive 1.7% Sunflower 1.2% Cottonseed 3.1% All other FATS CONSUMERS VIEW AS VERY OR SOMEWHAT HEALTHY Omega-3 fatty acids 7% 84% 77% 7% 77% 82% 76% Polyunsaturated fat 32% 32% 32% Monounsaturated fat 2% 34% 30% Hydrogenated vegetable oils 15% 22% 24% 24% 22% 1% 25% Trans fat % 10% 14% 12% 16% 15% 1% Saturated fat 8% 6% 13% 13% 17% 15% 1%

High oleic soybean oil delivers three times the amount of beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) compared to conventional soybean oil, which may benefit heart health.

3 U.S.-GROWN HIGH OLEIC SOYBEAN OIL IMPROVES PRODUCT NUTRITION High oleic soybean oil offers an improved fat profile and functionality as well as 0 grams trans fat per serving. 3 The oil allows foodservice operations and food manufacturers to eliminate the use of trans fats while providing superior performance and stability. High oleic soybean oil delivers three times the amount of beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) compared to conventional soybean oil, which may benefit heart health. A high MUFA content makes the oil extremely stable, eliminating the need for partial hydrogenation. 3-4 MUFAs, such as oleic acid, benefit heart health when eaten in moderation and used to replace saturated fats or trans fats. MUFAs may also help reduce LDL levels in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. 5 High in MUFAs, high oleic soybean oil is stable and does not require hydrogenation, making it a better-for-you replacement for saturated fats. 4,10-11 Substituting saturated fat with monounsaturated fat improves insulin sensitivity and reduces plasma triglycerides, making it an important dietary modification for those at risk of metabolic syndrome. 7 HIGH OLEIC SOYBEAN OIL IS AVAILABLE NOW Today, U.S. soybean farmers collaborate with seed technology companies to ramp up crop production and accelerate the supply of high oleic soybeans. The available high oleic soybean oil supply is expected to reach one billion pounds in the next three years and.3 billion pounds within the next decade. QUALISOY projects the supply of U.S.-grown high oleic soybean oil will be greater than other high oleic offerings due to the amount of available soybean acreage in North America. High oleic soybean oil was commercialized in 2011 and is available now. Quantities are increasing and expected to reach an estimated 1 billion pounds by Studies have shown that MUFAs reduce blood pressure. It has been demonstrated that the oleic acid component contributes to this hypotensive effect. 6 In addition, a recently completed human feeding study suggests that high oleic soybean oil acts similarly to conventional soybean oil in lowering LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol when compared to a palm olein High oleic soybean oil is a significant provider of vitamin E and contains a number of phytosterols, including B-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. 8- High oleic soybean oil s fat profile features LOWER SATURATED FAT * while maintaining 0 grams trans fat per serving. 3 SOYBEAN COMPARISON OF FATTY ACID PROFILES VISITIVE GOLD HIGH OLEIC SOYBEAN PLENISH HIGH OLEIC SOYBEAN % HIGH OLEIC CANOLA % HIGH OLEIC CANOLA NUSUN SUFLOWER * , 10, HIGH OLEIC SUNFLOWER * 82 CORN SUNFLOWER CANOLA PALM * * COTTONSEED OLIVE *Compared to conventional soybean oil % SATURATED FATTY ACID % OLEIC ACID % LINOLEIC ACID % LINOLENIC ACID * TRACE AMOUNTS Sources: Johnson, L.

4 Companies are developing soybeans that contain stearidonic acid (SDA), an omega-3 fatty acid. SDA omega-3s are more efficiently converted by the body into EPA than the ALA omega-3s found in plant sources. ENHANCED SOYBEAN OILS IN THE PIPELINE: INCREASED OMEGA-3 Omega-3 fatty acids are both essential and beneficial for human health. Research shows diets rich in omega-3 fats reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease.17 SOYBEAN TRAIT ENHANCEMENT PIPELINE Companies developing these soybean varieties aim for an omega-3 content of 18 to 20 percent. This variety of soybeans will result in an affordable, land-based, renewable source of omega-3s. The aim is to produce neutral-flavored soybean oil with 18 to 20 percent SDA. This SDA omega-3 soybean oil will provide the food industry with a functional ingredient that can be added to a variety of foods, such as soups, sauces, beverages, yogurts and breads. Incorporating this type of omega-3 in foods could have tremendous public health benefits.1-20 Improved Amino s Increased Energy FUTURE TRAITS The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found primarily in fatty fish and marine sources, are most readily used by the body. Although ALA, the type of omega-3 found in soybean oil, is the principal source of omega-3s in the U.S. diet18, ALA is not efficiently converted to EPA and DHA in the body. ALA Conversion Chart OIL [ Low Phytate Phosphorus Increased Oil Improved Feed Non-Enhanced Oil SDA Omega-3 Soybean Oil ALA SDA EPA DHA Alpha-linolenic Stearidonic Eicosapentaenoic Docosahexaenoic Omega-3 TODAY [ The body skips the ALA conversion step when consuming products made with SDA omega-3 soy. INCREASED OMEGA-3 OIL HIGHLIGHTS High Oleic Omega-3 fatty acids have potent anti-inflammatory effects that guard against coronary heart disease and autoimmune diseases.21 SDA omega-3 soybean oil is an effective and environmentally sustainable approach to increasing heart-healthy levels of EPA in the body.22
