  • How is sunflower oil produced?
  • Sunflower oil production has the following manufacturing processes: cleaning of the seeds, grinding of the seeds, pressing and extraction of crude oil from these seeds and then further refining the oil obtained before packaging. A volatile hydrocarbon like hexane is used as a solvent to extract the oil. CLEANING THE SEEDS:
  • How does a sunflower extractor recover the solvent pumped to the extractor?
  • The solvent evaporated from the sunflower meal and the miscella are both recovered in the solvent recovery system within the solvent extraction process area. A typical sunflower plant will recover 99.8–99.9% of the solvent pumped to the extractor.
  • Why is prepress solvent extraction better than sunflower meal?
  • Because sunflower oil has a substantially higher economic value than sunflower meal, process economics improve significantly as the oil recovery yield increases. Therefore, prepress solvent extraction, with the highest oil recovery yield, is the process method utilized today for the majority of the sunflower seed that is crushed globally.
  • Where is Ho sunflower grown in South Africa?
  • HO sunflower was planted commercially for the first time in Africa on the farm Vergezocht in the Bainsvlei area. The dryer climate around Bloemfontein is ideal for the cultivation of HO sunflower and no insecticides need to be used on the plants. Approved as part of The Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa eating plan.
