PHYSICAL REFINING OF SUNFLOWER OIL
Sunflower oil has a high nutritional value, having 62-70% linoleic acid content (essential fatty acid) but on the other hand this high polyunsaturated fatty acid content makes this oil sensitive to oxidation. Crude sunflower oil, which has reached a certain level of oxidation is difficult to refine. There are two main difficulties: 1.
Process flow diagramme for refining of sunflower oil. Degumming. The crude oil in the open conical tank was heated to 45 °C and degummed by adding 0.2 % phosphoric acid (50 % w/w strength) with slow agitation for 30 min. Then the oil was settled for 30 min and the water with dissolved gum was drained out.

The steps involved in Sunflower Oil Refining Process: Degumming. Neutralization. Water Washing. Vacuum Drying. Bleaching. De-waxing. Deodorisation. The chemical refining stages of Sunflower oil are also similar to other soft oils except dewaxing which is additional as sunflower oil contains wax which will be removed by dewaxing process.
Dewaxing is performed only for high wax containing oils such as Sunflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Corn Oil etc. Tinytech Dewaxing Plants are incorporated with intrinsically designed Crystallizer Equipments which are specially made of very slow cooling with continuous agitation for better heat transfer.
Sunflower Oil Refinery Plant
Sunflower Oil Refinery Plant is a machinery setup manufactured and developed to refine the crude sunflower oil with the key step of elimination of impurities from that crude oil. We at Tinytech Udyog offer small scale to medium scale Sunflower Oil Refinery Plants on Turnkey basis.
Indeed, crude oils like soybean, rapeseed, palm, corn, and sunflower oils must be purified or refined before consumption. The objective of such treatments (chemical and physical refining) is to get a better quality, a more acceptable aspect (limpidity), a lighter odor and color, longer stability, and good safety through the elimination of pollutants while minimizing oil loss during processing.
A Step-by-Step Guide on How Sunflower Oil is Made
The extracted oil, meanwhile, joins the expelled oil in the refinery. Not to forget about the remaining meal – this protein-rich residue is extremely useful in making animal feed. The extracted sunflower oil is still crude. What happens in an oil refinery is an important part of how sunflower oil is made suitable for human consumption.
Second Stage of Vegetable Oil Refining Process. Neutralization or simply Neutralizing is the second process in the vegetable oil refining which commences after degumming completion. The feedstock is taken into the Neutralizers where the heating temperature range is kept at 55 C to 70 C depending on the quality of crude oil.

The crude oil feedstock has typically been processed by an oil production plant. There is usually an oil depot at or near an oil refinery for the storage of incoming crude oil feedstock as well as bulk liquid products. In 2020, the total capacity of global refineries for crude oil was about 101.2 million barrels per day.
Hydratable phospholipids were removed from crude algal oil by water degumming with 19.4% reduction of the phospholipids, followed by acid-degumming of non-hydratable phospholipids with 83% reduction [17]. Lamas et al. (2016) studied water degumming of sunflower oil and reported a drastic reduction of phosphorus content in degummed sunflower oil.
