  • Can Egypt produce sunflower oil self-sufficiency?
  • Sunflower crop was introduced in Egypt in 1987, and the oil content of its seed ranges between 39 and 46% (The Arab league for Nutrition Industries, 2007). The Minister of Supply and Internal Trade indicates that Egypt will accomplish sunflower oil creation self-sufficiency by nurturing lands and refining edible oils in bordering Sudan.
  • Are sunflower oilseeds safe to eat?
  • The oilseeds contain high oil content compared to the nonoilseed type used for confectionary purposes. The oil from sunflower oilseeds is considered safe and suitable for human consumption with low cholesterol. Edible oilseeds required in the human diet could comprise of sunflower oil, canola oil, and soybean oil.
  • How are sunflower seeds extracted?
  • The seeds are confined within an achene consisting of a shell composed of lignin and cellulolytic materials covering the kernel, which accounts for 80% of its total weight. Raw sunflower seeds usually contain about 25% oil, but through plant breeding, it has increased to 40%. The seed oil can be extracted by cold extraction and hot-pressing.
  • Can a single solvent be used to extract oil from sunflower seeds?
  • A single solvent can be used, but the maximum extract yield of the active plant components might be reduced; therefore, the combination of plant extraction solvents can be used to obtain the maximum yield of the plant extract. Oil extracted from sunflower seeds is considered healthy and can minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • What is the most effective method for extracting sunflower seed oil?
  • Extrusion has been used as pretreatment prior to expeller pressing of soybean oil, extracting over 70% of oil compared to single-step expelling, which yielded 60%. This process has also been used for simultaneous treatment with fatty acid methyl ester as a solvent, extracting 98% of oil from sunflower seeds.
  • What is sunflower oil used for?
  • The oil obtained from the processed sunflower seeds has been used in many homes for cooking and as a raw material in the food industry in the production of margarine, butter, bread, and snacks (Kottapalli et al., 2020). The price of oilseed crops might be competitive in the market as compared to other seed oils.
