  • What is high oleic sunflower oil?
  • High oleic sunflower contains 4?times more oleic acid than classical sunflower, with 84% oleic acid in oil. It competes on global scale with other high oleic oils but has the highest oleic level compared to oleic safflower (78%), oleic rapeseed and canola (75?73%) and oleic soybean (73%) ( Tonin, 2018 ).
  • Is high oleic sunflower oil good for deep frying?
  • However, for deep-frying at high temperatures and longer industrial-style cooking, high oleic sunflower oil is significantly more heat stable, making it a better choice for these applications. Key Point: High oleic sunflower oil is primarily composed of oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated fatty acid.
  • What is the oleic content of sunflower oil?
  • The kernel represents 70% of seed weight, containing around 55% of oil. Sunflower oil of different oleic content may be classified as (i) regular (14?39%), (ii) mid-oleic (43?72%), and (iii) high-oleic (75?91%). With a good oxidative stability, regular sunflower oil finds many applications in the food market mainly as salad oil and cooking oil.
  • Why is high oleic sunflower oil more heat-stable than regular Sunflower oil?
  • As mentioned earlier, high oleic sunflower oil is more heat-stable than regular sunflower oil. This is because it has a higher content of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid with one double bond in its structure. Polyunsaturated fats, on the other hand, have multiple double bonds, which can react with oxygen and cause oxidation.
