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 inÂ odor and taste.

STORAGE:	Keep away from direct sunlight at room temperature in tightly sealed containers (nitrogen topping is of advantage)
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).

Mid Oleic

Sunflower Oil, Mid Oleic

DESCRIPTION	Extracted using a chemical solvent from the seed kernel of the Helianthus annuus plant (Sunflower). Refined, bleached, winterized and deodorized.
ORIGIN:	Sourced from USA, Argentina & Canada. Manufactured in the USA.
CERTIFICATE OF	Each shipment to include certificate.
ANALYSIS:
APPEARANCE, ODOR, TASTE & COLOR:	Flavor: Neutral, without symptoms of sourness / Odor: Neutral without symptoms of sourness / Color: Clear yellow Liquid Lovibond: Y=25 max. R=1.5 max. B=0.1 max
SPECIFICATIONS
Density (20° C)	0.909 ~ 0.915
Refractive Index	1.461 ~ 1.471
Iodine Value	88 ~ 115 cg/g
Peroxide Value	1.0 mEq/kg Max*
Smoke Point	240° C. *Maximum effect when packaging is because the peroxide value of the oil increases. This increase does not indicate that the oil has become rancid.

FATTY ACID COMPOSITION
Palmitic Acid	C 16:0	3 ~ 7
Stearic Acid	C 18:0	1.5 ~ 7
Oleic Acid	C 18:1	55 ~ 75
Linoleic Acid	C 18:2	15 ~ 35
Linolenic Acid	C 18:3	1.0 Max.
Other Fatty Acids		3% Max
STORAGE & SHELF LIFE:	Store in a dry, odor-free environment at 65° – 75°F. In unopened containers, shelf life is 2 years from date of production.
USAGE:	Mid-Oleic Sunflower Oil is commonly used in the food industry in conditions with extra high cooking temperatures; this oil is also recognized for its health benefits of lower levels of trans fats. Sunflower oils are also used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient.
