High Oleic
Sunflower Oil, High Oleic
| DESCRIPTION | New hybrids of the traditional sunflower species produce an oil unusually high in oleic acid (C18:1). The appearance of this new hybrid only differs in the color of the kernel shells from off white to silver gray compared to black resp. black stripes. The seed is pressed; the obtained oil is filtered and refined. The subsequent 4 step refining (deacidification, bleaching, steam deodorization, and winterization) results in a light transparent high oleic sunflower seed oil with excellent oxidative stability and nearly neutral in odor and taste. | |

| USAGE: | Its excellent oxidative stability is comparable to that of high-quality olive oil and approximately twice that of traditional sunflower and soybean oils. Therefore, it is particularly suitable as a fatty ingredient and carrier in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Its uses in food: baker’s ware and pastry (unhydrogenated spray oil), baby food and margarine, as a baking and frying oil (high smoke point). Like olive oil, high-oleic sunflower oil is thought to have a beneficial effect on human cholesterol metabolism due to its high content of monounsaturated oleic acid (C18:1). | |
