Difference between vegetable oil & blend oil?

Answer 1

Vegetable oil is just that but blend could be a mixture of several. Check the label to see what is used.

Answer 2

What's different about oils -- aside from the fact that they're pressed from varying plants, seeds, grains, nuts, and beans -- is their flavor, color, texture, and, perhaps most important, their taste. An oil should not overwhelm the dish it is added to. So, too, you should not use some oils in cooking, because their taste is better if you don't heat them.

Vegetable oil refers to oils extracted from numerous sources - corn, soybeans, peanuts, cottonseeds, safflower seeds, rape seeds (for canola oil) and sunflower seeds. Pale in color and neutral in flavor, they can be heated to high temperatures. Cold-pressed oils are preferred over those processed using heat.

Canola oil is the healthy choice for today's cooks. It is cholesterol free and with only 1 gram of fat, it has 50% less saturated fat than olive or other vegetable oils. With its high smoking point and mild flavor canola oil is a preferred choice for salad dressings as well as cooking.

For other types of oil, see chili, hazelnut, olive, peanut, sesame, and walnut oils, and olive oil and vegetable oil cooking sprays.

A blended oil (such as olive oil combined with soybean oil) provides the best qualities of both oils together as one. The combined flavor is more neutral than straight olive oil, and its smoke point is higher.
