which oil causes more smoke, canola or soybean?
Soybean oil is widely-used oil. If we compare the fat content of canola oil vs soybean oil we see that soybean oil also has omega-3 fatty acids (7%), but higher amount of saturated fat. Soybean oil has 24% of monounsaturated fatty acids and 54% of omega-6s. Soy oil smokes at 460Â°F (see Wikipedia) so it is a perfect choice for high-temperature cooking. The flavor of canola oil vs soybean oil is much more neutral because soy oil is heavier and has a more vivid flavor and taste.
