  • Are sunflower oilseeds safe to eat?
  • The oilseeds contain high oil content compared to the nonoilseed type used for confectionary purposes. The oil from sunflower oilseeds is considered safe and suitable for human consumption with low cholesterol. Edible oilseeds required in the human diet could comprise of sunflower oil, canola oil, and soybean oil.
  • How are sunflower seeds extracted?
  • The seeds are confined within an achene consisting of a shell composed of lignin and cellulolytic materials covering the kernel, which accounts for 80% of its total weight. Raw sunflower seeds usually contain about 25% oil, but through plant breeding, it has increased to 40%. The seed oil can be extracted by cold extraction and hot-pressing.
  • What is the export/production ratio of sunflower?
  • If we compare the export/production ratio of the main products involved in the vegetable oils and proteins markets, we see that sunflower is traded mainly after processing: 55% of the oil volumes were exported in 2018/19, 38% of the meals, and only 5% of the harvested seeds.
  • Which sunflower oil is produced by plant breeding and industrial processing?
  • Also, other sunflower oils produced via plant breeding and industrial processing include high-linoleic with 69% linoleic acid, high-oleic with 82% oleic acid, mid-oleic with 65% oleic acid, and high-stearic with high-oleic containing 18% stearic acid and 72% oleic acid respectively (Gupta, 2014).
  • What are the oil and meal extraction rates for sunflower & peanut oil mills?
  • The oil and meal extraction rates for sunflower and peanut oil mills are obtained using statistics on global oil seed crushing, and oil and meal production from the period 2010/11 to 2013/14 ( USDA, 2014 ). The hull/shell contents are approximately 25% for sunflower seeds ( Carre, 2009, p 17) and 15% for in-shell peanuts ( Myer et al., 2009 ).
  • Is sunflower oil a nutraceutical?
  • The nutraceutical functional oil, for example sunflower oil, contains unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants tocopherols and tocotrienols, phytosterols, phenolics, carotenoids, and chlorophylls. The nutraceutical features of common oilseed crops have been reported (Arruda, Pereira, de Morais, Eberlin, & Pastore, 2018).
