Sunflower & sunflower seeds
Sunflower oil is obtained from the shelled seeds of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) by pressing or refining.
The light yellow to dark yellow, quickly drying, fatty oil is contained in the seeds up to 40%. Sunflower oil contains more than 85% unsaturated fatty acids, of which more than 2/3 are linoleic acids. Sunflower oil therefore belongs to the nutritionally valuable edible oils. Sunflower oil is also used in the margarine industry, in the food industry (salad dressings, mayonnaise), as well as in the production of varnishes, paints and soaps. The sunflower fatty acid mixture obtained by saponification is used to produce lubricants.
