This material is a triglyceride oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic and oleic fractions, with minor tocopherols and phytosterols. It is commonly used from low single-digit percentages up to very high levels in anhydrous products, and its high unsaturation means antioxidants, opaque packaging, and limited heat exposure help slow rancidity.
