Description
Crude sunflower oil is the unrefined oil extracted from sunflower seeds through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, serving as a cost-effective raw material for refineries, biofuel producers, and industrial processors worldwide. Naturally rich in linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acids), vitamin E, and antioxidants, it offers high oxidative stability and energy content for downstream applications.
