peer agreement (net): +1oil by-substance Explanation: Oil by-substances are not necessarily oil additives, but - especially in the context of vegetable oil - can be i.e. residual plant matter that made it through the filters and denaturalizes above a certain temperature. Soy bean oil also might have residual traces of kerosine (used to extract the oil from the beans prior to further processing them - i.e. to be made into tofu) will dissipate above certain temperatures. Thus it may be a natural component, or an artificial one, resulting from processing. "Additive" is less likely since this would be a "Zusatzstoff". |

4 hrs confidence: 
oil associated material (material associated with the oil) Explanation: That's what I found in Technologix-Dictionary and I feel it fits the context. Additives are materials that are later added to the oil, whereas an associated material is in my opinion already present. |
