High oleic sunflower seed oil (OMEGA-6/9)

High Oleic Sunflower Oil – Premium Stability with 75-90.7% Oleic Acid Content

High oleic sunflower seed oil (OMEGA-6/9) is a specialized vegetable oil extracted from specially bred sunflower seeds, characterized by its exceptionally high monounsaturated fatty acid content. Our High Oleic Sunflower Oil contains 75-90.7% oleic acid, providing superior oxidative stability and nutritional benefits compared to conventional vegetable oils. Available in both Refined and Certified Organic options, this versatile oil serves as an ideal ingredient for food manufacturing, cosmetic formulations, and nutritional products where stability, neutral flavor, and extended shelf life are paramount.

Product Overview

Our High Oleic Sunflower Oil is sourced from proprietary sunflower varieties cultivated for their enhanced oleic acid profile. Through controlled extraction and careful processing, we preserve the oil's natural stability while maintaining its nutritional integrity. The remarkably high oleic acid content (75-90.7%) significantly extends product shelf life and increases resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. This makes it an excellent choice for demanding applications ranging from high-heat food processing to sensitive cosmetic formulations. Both our refined and organic variants deliver consistent performance, with the refined option offering maximum stability and neutral flavor, while the organic version provides the same functional benefits with certified organic credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is high oleic sunflower oil and how is it different from regular sunflower oil?

A: High oleic sunflower oil is derived from specially bred sunflowers that naturally produce oil with significantly higher monounsaturated fat (oleic acid) content (75-90.7%) compared to regular sunflower oil (typically 20-50%). This results in superior stability, longer shelf life, and better performance at high temperatures.

Q2: Why is high oleic acid content beneficial?

A: High oleic acid content provides exceptional oxidative stability, meaning the oil resists rancidity longer and maintains quality during heating. Nutritionally, oleic acid is a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat that supports healthy cholesterol levels.

Q3: What's the difference between your refined and organic options?

A: Our refined option undergoes physical purification to achieve maximum stability, neutral flavor, and light color, making it ideal for applications where these characteristics are crucial. Our certified organic option is sourced from organically grown sunflowers and processed according to organic standards, providing the same high oleic acid benefits with organic certification.

Q4: Is this oil suitable for deep frying?

A: Yes, with a smoke point of ≥210°C and excellent oxidative stability, our High Oleic Sunflower Oil performs exceptionally well in deep frying applications, resulting in longer fry life and better-quality fried foods compared to many conventional oils.

Q5: Is your high oleic sunflower oil genetically modified?

A: No, our high oleic sunflower oil is produced from sunflower varieties developed through traditional breeding methods, not genetic engineering. We provide Non-GMO verification for all our products.

Q6: What makes this oil suitable for cosmetic applications?

A: Its high oleic acid content provides excellent emollient properties, good skin absorption, and natural oxidative stability that helps extend the shelf life of cosmetic formulations without requiring excessive preservatives.

Q7: How does the nutritional profile compare to olive oil?

A: Our High Oleic Sunflower Oil has a similar fatty acid profile to extra virgin olive oil (high in monounsaturated fats, low in saturated fats) but with a more neutral flavor and higher smoke point, making it more versatile for various culinary applications.

Q8: What is the shelf life and optimal storage conditions?

A: The shelf life is 24 months when stored in sealed containers in a cool, dark place below 25°C. For optimal quality, minimize exposure to oxygen, light, and heat after opening.

Q9: Can I use this oil as a direct replacement for other vegetable oils in formulations?

A: Yes, it can typically replace conventional vegetable oils while providing superior stability and potentially allowing for reduced antioxidant usage in many applications.

Q10: Do you offer technical support for product development?

A: Yes, our technical team provides comprehensive support for formulation optimization, application testing, and regulatory compliance to ensure successful product development.
