  • How is crude pressed sunflower oil refined?
  • Crude pressed sunflower oil obtained from a local oil mill was refined using chemical method by degumming, neutralization, bleaching and dewaxing. The quality and composition of crude and refined oil were compared. The phosphorous content, FFA content, peroxide value and wax content decreased during the refining process.
  • Can sunflower oil be refined?
  • An experimental oil refining unit has been developed and tested for refining of sunflower oil. Crude pressed sunflower oil obtained from a local oil mill was refined using chemical method by degumming, neutralization, bleaching and dewaxing. The quality and composition of crude and refined oil were compared.
  • What is a sunflower oil refining unit?
  • An experimental oil refining unit has been developed for minimal refining of sunflower oil. The unit consists of (i) one open mild steel tank with conical bottom for degumming/neutralization, (ii) one closed oval tank for vacuum drying/bleaching and (iii) one filter for filtration of oil.
  • Why is refined sunflower oil popular in India?
  • Refined sunflower oil has found wide acceptance because of its high polyunsaturated fatty acid content, bland flavour, good storage stability and low viscosity (Semwal et al. 1996 ). Refined sunflower oil has emerged as one of the most popular cooking oil in India.
  • Which countries sell sunflower oil?
  • Refined sunflower oil to South Africa (US$ 1,589,200), Egypt (US$ 162,730), Ukraine (US$ 60,470), Kenya (US$23,590) and the United Arab Emirates (US$ 18,130). Margarine to Kenya (US$2,660,970), South Africa (US$ 453,750) Indonesia (US$117,420), Zimbabwe (US$ 76,190) and the United Arab Emirates (US$4420).
  • Why is sunflower oil used as a salad oil?
  • Sunflower oil is used as a premium salad oil due to the presence of high ratio of polyunsaturated-to-saturated fatty acids. Refined sunflower oil has found wide acceptance because of its high polyunsaturated fatty acid content, bland flavour, good storage stability and low viscosity (Semwal et al. 1996 ).
