Sunflower Oil Refining Process
Laying the Foundation for Premium Oil Quality
Sunflower oil refining ensures high-quality, clear, and stable oil suitable for retail and export. At Agroprocess Oil Tech Solutions, we specialize in both physical and chemical refining methods. For most high-quality outputs, physical refining is preferred to preserve nutrients and maintain superior oil clarity.
Our refining process preserves natural antioxidants, enhances shelf life, and maintains oil taste and clarity. Advanced equipment ensures efficiency, minimal losses, and consistent, high-quality output suitable for retail and export.
Key Stages in Sunflower Oil Refining
The key stages in sunflower oil refining involve degumming, dewaxing (winterization), neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, ensuring maximum yield, clarity, and stability.
Degumming
Removes phospholipids and mucilaginous substances causing emulsification and refining loss, improving sunflower oil quality efficiently.
Water Degumming
Hydratable gums are removed using water, enhancing oil clarity and preventing emulsions during further refining stages.
Acid Degumming
Non-hydratable gums precipitate via acid treatment, improving oil stability, nutrient retention, and overall refining efficiency.
Enzymatic Degumming
Enzymes break down gums environmentally friendly, preserving nutrients, reducing losses, and enhancing oil quality effectively.
Dewaxing (Winterization)
Natural waxes causing cloudiness at low temperatures are removed, producing crystal-clear, retail- and export-grade sunflower oil.
Neutralization
Caustic soda removes free fatty acids, converting them into soap stock, suitable for high-FFA crude oils.
Bleaching
Activated bleaching earth under vacuum removes pigments, trace metals, and oxidized products without degrading sunflower oil.
Deodorization
Vacuum steam distillation eliminates volatile compounds, odors, and residual free fatty acids, ensuring neutral-smelling, high-quality oil.
