Description
Expeller pressed, crude organic high oleic sunflower oil is refined, bleached and deodorized to produce a stable, non-hydrogenated oil with a light yellow color and neutral flavor. It contains a combination of palmitic, stearic, and linoleic fatty acids, but is most desired for its high concentration of monounsaturated oleic acid.
Use organic high oleic sunflower oil in baked goods or for frying snack chips. Spray it on cereals and crackers to add sheen and preserve shelf life, or on dried fruits to prevent stickiness and clumping. High oleic sunflower oil can be found in infant formulas, supplements, non-dairy creamers, milk alternatives and spreads. It is also used as an emollient in face creams, lotions and cosmetics.
Unlike other common sources of vegetable oils from corn, soybeans or canola, genetically modified (GM) sunflowers are not currently available commercially.
Product FAQ
-
Yes, high-oleic sunflower oil is available in both non-GMO and organic varieties.
-
High-oleic sunflower oil has a smoke point around 450F, which is higher than many other seed oils commonly used in the food industry.
-
Winterized oil goes through an additional processing step to remove the waxes or solids from the oil. This helps provide a more clear oil during cold storage, commonly desired in dressings and spreads.
-
High-oleic sunflower oil typically has a shelf life of about 12 to 24 months, from date of manufacture, when stored unopened in a cool, dry place.
-
High-oleic sunflower oil offers a high stability, long shelf life, and a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying and baking.
Sunflower Lecithin Powder
Organic deoiled sunflower lecithin is a dark yellow-to-brown colored powder that functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, stabilizer, instantizing agent, release agent, lubricant, antioxidant and dispersant in a variety of applications including food and beverage, cosmetics and pet food. It is easier to handle and incorporate into dry mixes for many manufacturers compared to liquid lecithin, and can often be applied at a dosage rate up to thirty percent less. When fluid lecithin is dried, it creates a concentrated form of powdered lecithin with a higher percentage of phospholipids and acetone insolubles — a measure of the surface active properties. Organic sunflower lecithin is popular in applications where allergen sensitivity is a consideration. Use sunflower lecithin powder in baking mixes, frozen dough systems for crystal control, or in dry nutritional drink mixes for instantizing and improving mixability with liquids. Conventional non-GMO deoiled sunflower lecithin powder is also available.
Sunflower Lecithin Liquid
Organic sunflower lecithin is an amber-to-brown viscous liquid that is physically separated from expeller pressed organic sunflower oil without the use of solvents. As more and more products are being developed to satisfy the needs of allergen sensitive consumers, product developers are increasingly opting for sunflower lecithin over soy lecithin (currently recognized as a major allergen). Use organic sunflower lecithin in chocolate to improve viscosity, in frozen vegan desserts to replace eggs, or in nut milk alternatives and creamers to reduce ingredient separation. Conventional non-GMO (non-organic) liquid sunflower lecithin is also available.
Coconut Oil
Organic coconut oil can be produced using a wet or dry pressing method. Ciranda's Palmfruit™ brand coconut oil is pressed from the dried coconut meat for greater shelf stability. Virgin coconut oil is pressed from shredded and dried coconut meat which is filtered and packaged. It tastes and smells like coconut. Refined coconut oil is produced from crude coconut oil that has been extracted from sun-dried copra. The oil is then deodorized, resulting in an odorless and flavor-neutral coconut oil. Both oils are white-to-pale yellow in color and solid at room temperature due to the high saturated fatty acid profile. Organic coconut oil is used in hundreds of applications across the food, beverage, beauty, personal care, household care, nutritional and pet food industries as a versatile, shelf-stable oil. Try it in snacks, soaps, supplements and detergent, or just about anywhere else. Fair trade and ROC certified coconut oil is available upon request.
