Sunflower oil is a non-volatile oil compressed from the seeds of a sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Sunflower oil is commonly used in food as a frying oil and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient. The world's total production of sunflower oil in 2014 was nearly 16 million tonnes, with Ukraine and Russia as the largest producers.
Sunflower oil is a monounsaturated (MUFA)/polyunsaturated (PUFA) mixture of mostly oleic acid (omega-9)-linoleic acid (omega-6) group of oils. The oil content of the seed ranges from 22% to 36% (average, 28%): the kernel contains 45–55% oil. The expressed oil is light amber with a mild and pleasant flavour; the refined oil is pale yellow. Refining losses are low and the oil has good keeping qualities with a light tendency for flavor reversion. The oil contains appreciable quantities of vitamin E, sterols, squalene, and other aliphatic hydrocarbons.
