sunflower oil
Manufacturing of Sunflower Oil Refined sunflower oil will be ready to consume after two manufacturing processes. They are raw oil manufacturing and refining processes. These two steps are charted below. Chart-I: Manufacturing of Raw Oil Chart-II: Manufacturing of Refined Oil
Raw oil manufacturing consists of 2 stages. These are pressing and extraction stages. In the first stage, seed of sunflower becomes sunflower oil. Cleaning, breaking, separation, shimming, roasting and pressing processes are done in this stage.
In the cleaning process, purchased sunflower seeds are separated of external elements such as dust, sand, stone, lace and metals. This process is accomplished by using difference in size, shape, density and magnetism. Breaking process breaks the covers of sunflower seed by colliding method which is achieved by high-speed rolling plates in circular tube.
Covers and seeds that were broken in the separation process are passed through vibrating mesh mechanism. Covers are sucked by using air flow. Covers that are not easily separated will be separated in further processes.
For shimming, seeds are shredded in to pieces of 0.07mm-0.08mm in thickness. After shimming, roasting is done by using multi-layer pans. Purpose of this process is to increase effiency of the sunflower seed. Seeds that are roasted for 1-2 hours in 11-15C become less humid.
In the pression process, roasted seeds are pressed in a circular tube.
In second stage, extraction, oiled residue is washed with a solvent to obtain most of the oil. This oil is stored as raw oil in tanks and rest of the residue is used as a resource in forage industry.
Refined oil is manufactured after the raw oil’s processes. The refining processes include 6 steps as; degumming, neutralization, dewaxing, winterization, whitening and deodorization. First step is degumming. Raw oil is hydrated then phospholipids, proteins and gums lose their solubility and they separate from oil. After that step,
