General description

Soybean oil (SBO) is a vegetable oil widely used as biodegradable lubricant.[1] It increases left ventricular contractility associated myosin ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA2a) in isolated hearts from rats.[2] SBO is shown to reduce both total and non-HDL serum cholesterol and triglycerides induced by atherogenic diet in rats.[3] It may be transesterified to biodiesel using CaO as a solid base catalyst.[4] It may also be transesterified to biodiesel using methanol and ethanol.[5]

Application

Soybean oil from Sigma is suitable for use:
  • in the determination of freezing point of soybean oil[6]
  • as a standard at 0.1% in chloroform during the quantification of lipid by a vanillin-phosphoric acid reaction[7]
  • as a delivery vehicle of α-lipoic acid[3]
  • to dissolve tamoxifen[8]
It may be used as a crude source for triglycerides and other lipids. Soybean oil is a potential raw material in oxygenated fatty acid production.[9] It may be used in the synthesis of epoxidized-soybean oil (ESO).[10]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
