Better Oil Is on the Market
As part of an effort to efficiently and effectively commercialize new soybean technologies, QUALISOY™ is currently aiding in the marketing of three different low linolenic soybean varieties. The oil that is produced from these varieties is in high demand from customers such as the food industry.

Participating organizations include:

• Monsanto VISTIVE™ - A low linolenic soybean variety through conventional breeding that will reduce or eliminate trans fatty acids (trans fats) in processed soybean oil. VISTIVE soybeans, which will have the Roundup Ready® trait, contain less than 3 percent linolenic acid, compared with 8 percent for traditional soybeans.

• Pioneer® Low Linolenic Soybeans –Pioneer soybean variety 93M20 features a low linolenic acid profile of less than 3 percent and offers better natural stability and increased shelf life. The resulting oil is marketed through Bunge North America as TREUS™ Low Lin Soybean Oil. When used for frying, low linolenic oil eliminates the need for partial hydrogenation in some applications.
