Premium Quality Ukrainian Refined Sunflower Cooking Oil 100% Organic For Sale in bulk

Description: Premium Quality Refined Sunflower Oil

Premium refined sunflower oil is a light, versatile, and neutral-tasting cooking oil derived from the seeds of the sunflower (). The "premium" designation signifies it undergoes advanced refining, bleaching, and deodorizing (RBD) processes to achieve exceptional purity, clarity, and stability, while preserving its natural nutritional profile.

Key Characteristics:

• Appearance: Crystal clear, brilliant, and free from any suspended particles or cloudiness.
• Color: Very light pale yellow to almost water-white.
• Odor & Flavor: Virtually odorless and neutral flavor, ensuring it does not interfere with the taste of cooked food.
• Texture: Light-bodied with excellent flow properties.
• Nutritional Highlight: Naturally high in Vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant) and low in saturated fat. It is rich in polyunsaturated fats, primarily linoleic acid (Omega-6), and also contains monounsaturated fats (oleic acid). Premium versions may be sourced from high-oleic sunflower seeds for a healthier fat profile and higher heat stability.
• Performance: Has a high smoke point, making it ideal for a wide range of cooking methods including frying, sautéing, baking, and as a base for dressings and mayonnaise.

Fatty Acid Profile (Typical %):

• For Standard Premium (Linoleic-rich):
  • Polyunsaturated Fat (PUFA): 60-70% (Primarily Linoleic Acid - Omega-6)
  • Monounsaturated Fat (MUFA): 20-30% (Oleic Acid)
  • Saturated Fat (SFA): 10-12% (Palmitic, Stearic)
• For Premium High-Oleic:
  • Monounsaturated Fat (MUFA): 80%+ (Oleic Acid)
  • Polyunsaturated Fat (PUFA): <10%
  • Saturated Fat (SFA): 8-10%
  • (High-oleic oil offers superior oxidative stability and a healthier fat profile.)

Nutritional Information (per 100ml - approximate):
