  • Can sunflower oil be refined?
  • An experimental oil refining unit has been developed and tested for 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 analysed 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.
  • How is crude sunflower oil made?
  • Crude sunflower oil is obtained from partially dehulled seeds by mechanical pressing followed by hexane extraction and water degumming. Quality and stability are the major factors in the production, acceptance and marketing of vegetables oil products.
  • What is the free fatty acid content of crude sunflower oil?
  • Free Fatty Acid content of crude sunflower oil was found to be reduced from 1.1 to 0.24 (% Oleic acid) after neutralization. The residual FFA content of the refined oil was less than the maximum specified value of 0.25 % in the BIS standard for pressed refined sunflower oil.
