Crude Sunflower Oil

Crude Sunflower Oil – Unrefined Base for Industrial Refining and Food Manufacturing

Product Overview

Crude Sunflower Oil is the unrefined oil extracted from high-quality sunflower seeds through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. Naturally rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, and plant sterols, it serves as a primary feedstock for refining, bleaching, and deodorizing processes. Its natural composition and versatility make it a key raw material in the food, biodiesel, and oleochemical industries.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Crude Sunflower Oil (CSFO) sourced from certified crushing plants operating under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management and international quality standards. Our product meets strict parameters for moisture, impurities, and acidity, ensuring smooth downstream refining and industrial processing.
