Crude Sunflower Oil
Oil obtained from Helianthus annuus seeds with a linoleic fatty acid profile. It has an unsaturated profile, with linoleic acid typically at 48–74% and oleic acid at 14–40%. It is supplied unrefined, retaining the colour, aroma and natural components of the raw material; it is intended primarily for subsequent refining or formulations that accept crude quality. Its main uses are in food, mayonnaise, margarines, bakery products, cosmetics and soapmaking.
