High-oleic oil is characterised by exceptional oxidative stability, longer shelf life, and the ability to withstand higher temperatures ideal for frying applications.
High oleic vegetable oils have a high percentage of monounsaturated fats and add no trans fats to products. The high quality of monosaturated fats lowers LDL cholesterol reducing the risk of heart disease, attacks, and strokes, proving to be an ideal replacement for trans fatty acids. The high oleic oil market growth is supported by diverse applications of the product in various end use sectors.
Researchers published a study in Scientific Reports in February 2026 examining the physicochemical behaviour of ozonated high-oleic sunflower oil. The research evaluated cold-pressed high-oleic sunflower oil subjected to ozonation and assessed its stability, rheological properties and antioxidant characteristics. The study reported that the ozonated oil maintained stability during six months of storage and demonstrated antioxidant and free-radical-neutralising properties. The researchers identified potential applications in areas such as therapeutic and dermatological products, while noting that further in-vivo research is required. The development expands research interest in high-oleic sunflower oil beyond conventional food applications.
Louis Dreyfus Company announced in January 2026 that it had added a high-oil seed processing line at its Timbúes complex in Santa Fe, Argentina. The line allows the facility to process a wider range of oilseeds including sunflower, canola, camelina and carinata alongside its existing soybean operations. The investment supports greater flexibility in oilseed processing and allows the facility to adapt its raw-material mix according to seasonal availability. The development is relevant to the high-oleic oil supply chain because sunflower and other high-oilseed crops provide important feedstocks for specialty vegetable oil production.
SOYLEIC announced a partnership with Byron Seeds in March 2025 to expand access to its non-GMO high-oleic soybean genetics. The collaboration gives farmers access to soybean varieties incorporating SOYLEIC high-oleic technology while supporting wider cultivation of soybeans producing high-oleic oil and meal. High-oleic soybean oil provides a zero-trans-fat option with lower saturated fat and approximately 75% oleic acid. The partnership also reflects increasing efforts to expand the agricultural supply base supporting high-oleic soybean oil production through collaborations between specialty-trait technology providers and regional seed companies.
Pioneer announced the availability of three new Plenish high-oleic Enlist E3 soybean varieties for the 2025 growing season. The varieties were introduced within Pioneer’s Z-Series genetics and were designed to combine high-oleic oil characteristics with Enlist weed-control technology and improved yield potential. Pioneer also announced plans to advance additional varieties for Michigan, New York and Wisconsin in 2026. The company highlighted growing farmer interest supported by processor-paid premiums for identity-preserved high-oleic soybeans. The varieties are intended for both food applications and emerging uses such as dairy feed, where the high-oleic fatty-acid profile can provide nutritional and production benefits.
Seed developers are expanding access to high oleic soybean genetics as processors and food manufacturers seek oils with greater oxidative stability. Corteva continues to commercialise Plenish high oleic soybeans, which provide high monounsaturated fat content and lower polyunsaturated fat levels. The company also links the crop with processor-paid premiums, creating an economic incentive for growers to participate in identity-preserved programmes. SOYLEIC has similarly expanded its non-GMO high oleic soybean platform through partnerships with seed companies. In March 2025, SOYLEIC partnered with Byron Seeds to increase access to high oleic genetics across the US Midwest.
Foodservice and food manufacturing applications are increasingly focused on oils that maintain performance during repeated heating and extended storage. High oleic soybean oil is suited to these applications because its fatty acid profile provides greater oxidative stability than conventional soybean oil. Corteva states that Plenish oil can support foodservice applications without hydrogenation and can provide longer shelf life in packaged products. Its 2025 sustainability report also notes that the increased stability and oil life demonstrated in restaurant applications can reduce certain environmental impacts compared with conventional oils. This combination of functional performance and formulation requirements is supporting demand for high oleic oils in commercial frying and processed foods.
Non-GMO high oleic oil is becoming a more defined product category as seed developers build dedicated varieties and contracting networks. SOYLEIC promotes a non-GMO high oleic trait that can be incorporated into soybean varieties and supports applications spanning food and livestock feed. Its 2025 partnership with Byron Seeds was intended to broaden farmer access to these genetics. SOYLEIC also introduced a Dairy Air soybean series with Martin Seed in January 2025, demonstrating expansion beyond conventional food oil applications. These developments indicate greater segmentation within the high oleic market, with differentiated genetics, identity preservation and end-use specifications becoming increasingly important.
High oleic soybeans are gaining attention beyond edible oil production because their fatty acid characteristics can support specialised animal nutrition applications. Corteva identifies Plenish soybeans as an option for dairies seeking to maximise milk fat production while reducing some off-farm feed costs. SOYLEIC likewise promotes high oleic soybeans as a whole-fat feed option for dairy producers, combining protein with additional dietary energy. The development of dedicated high oleic soybean lines for dairy markets broadens demand for the crop and creates additional value streams for growers. This diversification can strengthen the commercial case for identity-preserved high oleic soybean production.
High oleic oil production requires greater control over the soybean supply chain because the desired fatty acid profile must be maintained from seed production through harvesting, storage and processing. Corteva’s 2026 product-use guidance specifies identity-preserved contracting for Plenish soybeans and processor-paid incentives for growers. The guidance also describes grain testing through near-infrared technology to verify oil composition at delivery. Such systems are becoming increasingly relevant as high oleic oil moves into specialised food, foodservice and feed applications. Greater segregation, testing and traceability allow processors to maintain consistent specifications while providing growers with differentiated market opportunities.
Around 44% of the US population consider high oleic acid as a healthy way to reduce heart diseases. As per the FDA, daily consumption of around 1 and a half tablespoons of high oleic acid oils, when substituted for fats and oils higher in saturated fat, may minimise the risk of heart diseases. The growing risk of heart disease is likely to propel consumers to shift to healthier food options.
The use of high oleic soybean oil is witnessing a surge in the industrial sector. The market is witnessing a growing trend of high oleic soybean oil being used as an alternative to petroleum in motor oil, tires, asphalt and other products.
