Sunflower oil, refined
How is sunflower oil produced?
In the past, sunflower oil was only obtained by cold pressing. This production method is still used today, but sunflower oil is now increasingly produced by hot pressing. In this process, the sunflower seeds are pressed through so-called screw presses and then partially extracted and refined. This ensures a higher quality and shelf life of the oil.
What are the properties of sunflower oil?
The colour of sunflower oil obtained by cold pressing is light yellow, whereas it is reddish yellow when hot pressed. However, the refining and extraction process gives it back its light yellow and clear colour.
Where is sunflower oil used?
Sunflower oil is used in many areas. It is best known for its use as an edible oil, for example in salad dressings, uncooked dishes and a number of sauces. It is also often the basis for mayonnaise preparations or margarine products. In this country in particular, sunflower oil is highly valued as a high-quality vegetable oil. In the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, it is used in ointments, creams and in the treatment of rheumatism. In the technical sector, it is often used as an ingredient in paints or varnishes and helps in the production of biodiesel.
What is high-oleic sunflower oil?
High-oleic sunflower oil is obtained from specially bred plants. The speciality of this sunflower is that it has an oleic acid content of 80 - 90 %, whereas the normal sunflower has a content of approx. 25 %. This makes the HO sunflower particularly suitable for technical purposes, for example in the production of lubricants. It is also characterised by its high heat and oxidation stability and is therefore ideal for frying and deep-frying. It can also be found in a number of foods as well as in high-quality cosmetic products.
All species currently in cultivation have not been genetically modified.
Sunflower oil, refined (18 kg)
GMO-free. For the food sector, cosmetic and chemical-technical applications. Application Refined sunflower oil is used in the Federal Republic of Germany as a high-quality vegetable oil, primarily in the food sector (as a base for sauces and dressings or as a base for mayonnaise preparations). However, it is also used in other applications, for example in the pharmaceutical sector and in oleochemical and technical processes and formulations. Cold-pressed qualities also have a broad spectrum of vitamin complexes. Derivatives (e.g. esterified products), which are characterised by exceptional cold and oxidation stability and a very light colour, are suitable for use in oleochemistry. Important quality characteristics, especially for artists' colours or very high-quality lubricants in precision mechanics.
