DESCRIPTION

Sunflower Oil (Unhydrogenated) occurs as a light amber colored oil. It is obtained from the seed of the sunflower plant Helianthus annuus (Fam. Asteraceae) by mechanical expression or solvent extraction. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and miscellaneous other non-oil materials. It is a liquid at 21° to 27°, but traces of wax may cause the oil to cloud, unless removed by winterization.
