  • Can Egypt produce sunflower oil self-sufficiency?
  • Sunflower crop was introduced in Egypt in 1987, and the oil content of its seed ranges between 39 and 46% (The Arab league for Nutrition Industries, 2007). The Minister of Supply and Internal Trade indicates that Egypt will accomplish sunflower oil creation self-sufficiency by nurturing lands and refining edible oils in bordering Sudan.
  • Does Egypt rely on cotton seeds for oil production?
  • Egypt does not rely on upon them for oil production. Cotton crop that is one of the dual-purpose crops is generally grown for textile industry. The cotton seeds are then utilized to produce crude cottonseed oil either by pressing or by solvent extraction or by both of the two technologies together.
  • Which vegetable oil is imported by Egypt?
  • Table 2: Quantities of various vegetable oils imported by Egypt from 2015 to 2018 in ton). It is clear that palm oil is the major oil imported by Egypt whereby it represents about 60% of total imported oils in 2018 while the quantity imported from corn oil is the least being about 3% in the same year.
  • What is the percentage of sterols in sunflower oil?
  • Percentage of sterols in sunflower oil ranges between 0.24 and 0.26% (Grompone, 2005). It should be notified that sunflower oil which is mainly used for edible purposes can be also used for some industrial applications especially in countries which are self-sufficient of edible oils.
  • What is the fatty acid composition of sunflower seed oil?
  • The most common of these oilseeds are sunflower, canola, soybean, and cottonseed. The fatty acid (FA) composition of sunflower seed oil (Helianthum annuus L.) depends on the climatic conditions. Cooler climates produce higher amounts of the essential omega-6 PUFA linoleic acid, while in warmer climates, the MUFA oleic acid is predominant.
