Sunflower oil cold pressed

Gustav Heess

Sunflower seeds are harvested when the backs of the sunflower heads have turned yellow to brown and the leaves have wilted. The harvested sunflower seeds are cleaned and dried to achieve the optimum moisture content. The next step is to hull the seeds, separating the shells from the kernels. The dehulled sunflower seeds are crushed and prepared through a conditioning process that heats the seeds and adjusts their consistency to facilitate oil pressing.

Mechanical pressure is used to extract the oil from the seeds without the use of high temperatures to ensure the cold-pressed quality. The raw sunflower oil obtained is then filtered to remove natural residues. The resulting product is a pure and cold-pressed sunflower oil that is prized for its natural properties and nutritional value. Quality control is carried out according to a carefully developed test procedure. We analyze the quality of the sunflower oil in our own DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025-certified laboratory and, if necessary, we extend these tests with external analyses to ensure the precision and reliability of our results.

Usage

  • Cosmetics

    • Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids that deeply hydrate and soften the skin, ideal for lotions and creams
    • Due to its light texture and good compatibility, it is often used as a base oil for blending with essential oils
    • Often used in shampoos and conditioners as it helps to retain moisture in the hair and prevent split ends
    • Helps maintain skin elasticity and can be used to prevent signs of ageing
    • Used in cleansing oils and creams as it gently removes impurities and make-up without drying out the skin
  • Food

    • Often used as the main ingredient in the production of margarine and mayonnaise due to its favorable fatty acid composition
    • Ideal for sautéing vegetables and meat as it does not mask the natural flavor of the ingredients
    • It provides moisture and softness in cakes, muffins and bread and is therefore often used as a fat additive
    • Popular carrier oil - it is often used as a neutral base for infusion with herbs and spices to create flavored oils
    • Offers health benefits due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially valuable linoleic acid
