High Oleic Sunflower Oil
High Oleic Sunflower Oil is a type of sunflower oil that is high in oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. It is produced from sunflower seeds that have been specifically bred to contain a higher percentage of oleic acid and a lower percentage of linoleic acid compared to traditional sunflower oil varieties.The high oleic acid content in this oil makes it more stable and resistant to oxidation, resulting in a longer shelf life and better flavor retention. High oleic sunflower oil also has a higher smoke point than regular sunflower oil, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking methods like frying.
Due to its stability and health benefits, high oleic sunflower oil is commonly used in food processing, frying applications, and as an ingredient in various food products such as snacks, baked goods, and salad dressings. Additionally, it is often used as a healthier alternative to other cooking oils high in saturated or trans fats.
