Production Process
At Gateway Food Products, we use advanced technologies and strict quality control to ensure that our vegetable oils maintain the highest standards.
Mid-Oleic
Mid-oleic sunflower oil provides a balance of monounsaturated (74%) and polyunsaturated (17%) fats, perfect for high-heat cooking. Its low saturated fat content (9%) and rich Vitamin E make it a healthier choice for those seeking versatile yet nutritious ingredients.
High-Oleic
An exceptionally high concentration of monounsaturated fats – 84% – makes high-oleic a top pick for health-conscious consumers. It also boasts low polyunsaturated and saturated fat content for products needing a lighter, healthier oil base.
High-Linoleic
High-linoleic sunflower oil is known for its rich polyunsaturated fat content, especially linoleic fatty acid. A moderate 25% monounsaturated fat and a low 9% saturated fat content bring nutritious value to numerous end products.
Common Applications
Just as the sunflower is a favorite among gardeners, its oil is popular in various industries and markets.
Sunflower oil's high smoke point makes it a reliable frying base that doesn’t burn or release harmful chemicals. Plus, its neutral, low-key flavor allows the main food ingredients to shine through.
As a shortening or butter substitute in baked goods, sunflower oil provides the necessary moisture and tenderness that consumers crave. Lastly, its versatile nature lets sunflower oil appear in salad dressings with varying ingredients and flavor profiles.
Sunflower oils are natural moisturizers, making them a hot commodity throughout the skincare industry. You can find them in soaps, creams, lotions, and more. In a similar vein, it’s a commonly used ingredient in hair care products to reduce dryness and frizz.
Why Sunflower Oil?
Few types of oils offer a combination of nutritional benefits, versatility, practicality, and sustainability. However, sunflower oil is rich in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage. It’s also suitable for a wide range of culinary applications, from frying to salad dressing.
As natural, renewable (and beautiful) resources, sunflowers and their oils contribute to a more sustainable food system. Boasting a long shelf life that reduces waste and hefty storage costs, sunflower oil is an efficient yet smart choice.
