  • How to produce sunflower oil in a farming system?
  • The first section is the production of sunflower in the farming system that includes all operations, including preparing farms by tillage, planting, controlling diseases and weeds, and harvesting. In other words, all energy inputs entered as LCI in agricultural phase. The next section is extracting sunflower oil by cold press method.
  • Is sunflower a good oil seed?
  • Among all oil seed, sunflower is a remarkable oilseed crop and, because of its great oil content, is used for biodiesel production and household consumption [ 5, 6 ]. Sunflower belongs to Asteraceae or Compositae family and is an important oilseed [ 7, 8 ]. It is used in eatable oil production and its yearly production is about 25.1 million tons.
  • Is industrial phase better than agricultural phase in sunflower oil production chain?
  • An important result that can be found form energy analysis of this research is the better performance of industrial phase in comparison with agricultural phase in the production chain of sunflower oil. Actually, only about 14% of total energy use belonged to oil extraction process by cold press method.
  • What is high oleic sunflower oil?
  • High oleic sunflower contains 4times more oleic acid than classical sunflower, with 84% oleic acid in oil. It competes on global scale with other high oleic oils but has the highest oleic level compared to oleic safflower (78%), oleic rapeseed and canola (75¨C73%) and oleic soybean (73%) ( Tonin, 2018 ).
