Sunflower Oil Processing Plant
Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds. It is favored by people in many countries in the world due to its rich nutrients. Besides, sunflower oil has good curative effect for hypertensive, fat, cerebral embolism, myocardial infarction and nephropathy patient. Sunflower oil produced by sunflower oil plant has pale yellow color, transparent and clear. It is fragrant and has no peculiar smell. Due to the low melting point of sunflower oil, it is easy to be absorbed by the human body.
Currently, the sunflower oil sold on the market is mostly produced by de-shelled pre-squeezing and extracting process. De-shelled pressing-extracting technology is the key point of sunflower oil processing, which avoid the negative impact of over-refining, high temperature, and acid and alkali effects on oils, so that the nutrients in the oil can be well preserved. For example, the content of vitamin E in de-shelled squeezed sunflower oil is 75.5mg/100g. However, by squeezing-extracting seeds with shell, every 100g sunflower oil only contains 41.62mg vitamin E. What’s more, there is no contact with alkane in the process of de-shelled pressing-extracting process, which avoids the formation of trans fatty acids.
Sunflower Oil Processing Steps:
First of all, sunflower seeds are selected and cleaned to remove impurities, and then the seeds are de-husked and crushed. After that the embryo is flaked and steamed in the frying pan, the fried product is pre-squeezed out of the oil and the remaining oil is extracted by solvent extraction, then the crude oil is purified through precipitation and filtration. Finally, the oil is dissolved, degummed, decolorized, deacidified and deodorized into the refined oil. More specifically, the operation steps and equipment for processing sunflower oil are as follows:

The types of sunflower oil available are mid-oleic linoleic and high oleic sunflower oil. All are developed with standard breeding techniques. They differ in oleic levels and each one offers unique properties. Sunflower oil processed by our sunflower oil processing plant meets the needs of consumer and food manufacturers alike for a healthy and high performance non-transgenic vegetable oil.
Available sunflower seed varieties fall into two major groups: confectionery and oilseed. Confectionery sunflowers are intended for human consumption and have low oil content. The oilseed varieties often hold as much as twice the oil of the standard snacking seed. The oilseeds are prepared and pressed to get the maximum amount of sunflower oil with the minimum amount of effort.
