Product Overview
Refined soybean oil from Thailand by Jit Aree — compare soybean oil vs palm oil below. Jit Aree refined soybean oil undergoes rigorous degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization (RBD process) to produce a light-colored, bland-tasting oil with excellent frying stability and a high flash point exceeding 250°C. Available in both conventional and Non-GMO certified grades, our soybean oil is a staple ingredient for food processors, restaurant chains, and industrial buyers seeking reliable quality at competitive pricing. Thailand is Southeast Asia's largest soybean processing hub. Our RBD soybean oil contains omega 3 & 6 with zero trans fat per serving. **Full Specifications:** FFA ≤ 0.05%, Iodine Value 125–135 g I₂/100g (confirming high polyunsaturated fat content), Peroxide Value ≤ 2.0 meq/kg (indicating freshness), Moisture & Impurities ≤ 0.05%, Color ≤ 1.5 Red Lovibond, Flash Point ≥ 250°C. These parameters are tested per AOCS methods on every production batch with COA issued before container loading. **Applications:** Refined soybean oil is the world's most widely used edible oil. Primary applications include deep frying and commercial cooking (high flash point and neutral flavor make it ideal for foodservice operations), margarine and spread production (high polyunsaturated fatty acid content creates soft, spreadable texture), food manufacturing (snack foods, instant noodles, bakery products, condiments), mayonnaise and salad dressings (light color and neutral flavor deliver clean taste), and biodiesel feedstock (transesterification to FAME biodiesel is well-established for soybean oil). **Soybean Oil vs Palm Oil — Key Comparison:** Soybean oil is liquid at room temperature (melting point −16°C) vs palm olein (18–23°C), making it preferred for refrigerated applications, salad dressings, and cold-fill products. Soybean oil FOB Bangkok $1,050/MT vs RBD palm oil $900–1,050/MT — prices are competitive, with soybean oil's higher iodine value (125–135 vs palm olein 56–65) indicating greater unsaturation and a different fatty acid profile suited to different end markets. Soybean oil is preferred in the Americas and South/Southeast Asia; palm olein dominates in the Middle East and Africa. **Container & Packaging Options:** 20ft flexitank: approximately 20 MT of refined soybean oil in a single-use food-grade flexitank — the most cost-effective bulk option. 200L steel drums: 80 drums per 20ft container = approximately 16 MT. 20L jerry cans and 1–5L bottles available for private label retail programmes. ISO tank containers (24,000L) available for regular high-volume customers. **Certifications:** ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management), HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), Halal (Islamic Food Certification for export to Muslim-majority markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa), and SGS pre-shipment inspection on every export order. Non-GMO certified grades available on request for buyers in the EU and Japan requiring non-GMO documentation.

Soybean Oil vs Palm Oil — B2B Buyer's Comparison (2026)
Soybean oil and palm oil are the world's two highest-volume edible oils, and most procurement teams end up choosing between them on heat stability, cost and end-product functionality. Jit Aree exports BOTH from Thailand FOB Bangkok against a single documentation set — Halal, ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP and SGS pre-shipment inspection — so a buyer can request either oil, or a blend, from one supplier on one contract with one Certificate of Origin.
Source and composition. Refined soybean oil is pressed and solvent-extracted from the soybean seed, then degummed, neutralized, bleached and deodorized (RBD). It is roughly 58% polyunsaturated fat with an iodine value of 125–135 and a melting point of about −16°C, so it stays clear and liquid even in cold storage and in refrigerated cold-fill products. RBD palm oil comes from the mesocarp (flesh) of the oil-palm fruit; it carries an iodine value of just 50–55, is semi-solid at 33–39°C, and is around 50% saturated fat. That fundamental difference — high unsaturation and a liquid state for soybean, high saturation and a semi-solid state for palm — drives every downstream decision.
Heat stability and fry life. Because palm oil and palm olein have a much lower iodine value, they resist oxidation far longer under sustained high heat, giving a longer fry life in repeated deep-frying operations. Soybean oil offers a neutral flavor and easy liquid handling, but it degrades faster under prolonged high heat. Many foodservice and snack-frying buyers blend the two to balance fry life against flavor and cost.
Cost. Reusing current on-site figures: refined soybean oil is about $1,050/MT FOB Bangkok versus RBD palm oil at $900–1,050/MT FOB Bangkok. Palm is frequently the cheaper option per MT, and lands even lower where ASEAN/FTA import duties apply at the destination.
Nutrition and label positioning. Soybean oil is higher in omega-3 and omega-6 for nutrition-label positioning and carries zero trans fat per serving; a Non-GMO grade is available on request for buyers in the EU and Japan requiring non-GMO documentation. Palm oil's value is functional rather than nutritional — its semi-solid structure replaces hydrogenated fats without trans fat.
Market fit. Soybean oil is favored in the Americas and across South and Southeast Asia, while palm olein dominates the Middle East and Africa. A single Thai supplier able to ship both lets multi-region buyers consolidate sourcing.
Decision rules. Choose soybean oil when you need a liquid, neutral-flavor oil for cold-storage, refrigerated or cold-fill products (dressings, mayonnaise), or omega/nutrition positioning. Choose palm oil when you need fry life, semi-solid functionality for margarine, shortening and confectionery, or the lowest cost per MT.
One supplier, one container. Both oils ship in the same formats — single-use food-grade flexitank (~20 MT), 200L drums, or ISO tank — with an MOQ of 1 × 20ft container and a 7–14 day lead time, and SGS inspection on every container.

Detailed answers covering RBD, olein, stearin, PFAD, container specifications, and sourcing from Thailand.
Is palm oil or soybean oil better for deep frying?
Palm oil — and especially palm olein — is more heat-stable for deep frying because of its much lower iodine value (50–65 vs soybean's 125–135), so it resists oxidation longer and gives a longer fry life. Soybean oil has a neutral flavor and stays liquid for easy handling but degrades faster under sustained high heat. Many foodservice buyers blend the two, and Jit Aree exports each from Thailand.
Which is cheaper, soybean oil or palm oil FOB Bangkok?
RBD palm oil is typically $900–1,050/MT versus refined soybean oil at about $1,050/MT FOB Bangkok (2026), so palm is usually the lower-cost choice per MT — and often lands cheaper still where ASEAN/FTA import duties apply. Contact our export team for today's FOB and CIF pricing to your destination port.
Is soybean oil liquid at low temperatures?
Yes. Refined soybean oil has a melting point of about −16°C, so it stays clear and liquid in cold storage and in refrigerated or cold-fill products such as dressings and mayonnaise. RBD palm oil is semi-solid at 33–39°C and can solidify at ambient temperatures, which suits margarine, shortening and confectionery instead.
Can I buy both soybean and palm oil from one Thai supplier?
Yes. Jit Aree exports both refined soybean oil and the full palm range from Thailand against one documentation set (Halal, ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, SGS). MOQ is 1 × 20ft container (~20 MT) per oil, available in flexitank, 200L drums or ISO tank, with a 7–14 day lead time. You can also order a blend.
Is your soybean oil Non-GMO and Halal certified?
A Non-GMO certified grade is available on request for buyers in the EU and Japan requiring non-GMO documentation. All Jit Aree soybean oil is produced under ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP conditions, is Halal certified, and carries SGS pre-shipment inspection on every export order.
What are the soybean oil specifications?
Refined soybean oil specs: FFA ≤ 0.05%, Iodine Value 125–135 g I₂/100g, Peroxide Value ≤ 2.0 meq/kg, Moisture & Impurities ≤ 0.05%, Color ≤ 1.5 Red Lovibond, Flash Point ≥ 250°C. Parameters are tested per AOCS methods on every production batch with a COA issued before container loading.
