Grapeseed oil is processed from the seeds of grapes, which are a byproduct of winemaking.

The oils are usually extracted in factories by crushing the seeds and using solvents, such as hexane, which help pull more oil out of the seeds. This solvent extraction process is used for many kinds of vegetable oil, such as soybean oil.

Some people are concerned that traces of toxic solvents, such as hexane, could adversely affect people’s health.

Virtually all solvents are removed from vegetable oils during the manufacturing process, but very small amounts may remain.

It’s currently unknown whether traces of hexane in vegetable oils cause harm in people over time. But hexane can harm food production workers if it is inhaled during oil production. It can also act as an environmental pollutant if it is released into the air. Research now focuses on developing greener alternatives.
