• Can cold pressed oil of sunflower seeds be produced?
  • Although the production of cold pressed oil of sunflower seeds appears simple, this is in many ways not so. Manufacturers of these oils often do not notice all potential problems. Securing raw materials of high quality is one of the biggest obstacles. This chapter is intended to make at least a small positive contribution in this regard. 1.
  • Can cold pressed oil be used to dehull sunflower seeds?
  • Extensive research of certain technological parameters in the production of cold pressed oil provides data on the optimal values of certain parameters for the dehulling of sunflower seeds, in terms of the content of seed moisture and air pressure in the dehuller.
  • What is cold pressed sunflower oil (CPSO)?
  • Cold pressed sunflower oils (CPSO), in addition to their production process, have specific composition, quality, nutritive value, oxidative stability, and shelf life.
  • What is cold pressed sunflower oil used for?
  • Cold pressed sunflower oil, which is so far the most represented in some markets, except for salad oil, can also be used in daily culinary processing of food such as cooking, stewing, baking, salads, sauces, spreads, etc. The cold pressed oils are very important for the blending process.
  • Does CPSO depend on the quality of sunflower seeds?
  • The quality of CPSO, the composition of the cake, and the efficiency of pressing (yield) depends on the quality of sunflower seeds, as well as on the seed preparation for pressing and pressing conditions. Although the production of cold pressed oil of sunflower seeds appears simple, this is in many ways not so.
  • What is the difference between cold pressed sunflower oil and soxhelt oil?
  • There were significant variation observed in saponification value, iodine value and color, whereas, density, refractive index and unsaponifiable matter (%w/w) did not differ between sunflower oils produced by both the methods. The cold pressed (CP) sunflower oil had relatively good oxidation state than the Soxhelt extracted (SE) oil.
