USAGE: High-Oleic Sunflower Oil is commonly used in the food industry in conditions with extra high cooking temperatures, and is well suited for baking and frying. The high level of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, is recommended for a healthier diet. Furthermore, it renders stability to the oil, almost twice that of traditional sunflower. Sunflower oils are also used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, and as carrier molecules in pharmaceuticals.
