As a raw material for the production of sunflower oil, we use oilseed varieties of sunflowers, characterized by resistance to shedding and rapid ripeness, as well as excellent yields.
We produce most of the sunflower seeds used in the production of sunflower oil ourselves.

The most important factor determining the quality of sunflower oil is the proper storage of seeds.
Seeds entering storage and processing are a heterogeneous mixture of sunflower seeds, as well as stems, leaves, sand and other inclusions. Seed cleaning takes place on various cleaning machines: separators, aspirators, stone collectors.
To reduce the moisture content of seeds, the drying method is used in industrial dryers of various types and, subsequently, active ventilation in special storages (elevators).

The preparation of seeds for the production of sunflower oil takes place in several stages: collapsing, splitting into fractions, grinding.
Collapse.
The task of collapsing is the destruction of the shells of oilseeds by mechanical action. As a result of collapse, a rushanka is obtained - a mixture of several fractions: a target - whole seeds, an underrush - partially unbroken seeds, a section - destroyed kernels, husk and oilseed dust - a seed shell.
The division into factions.
Separating the shells from the cores is of great importance. To increase productivity and improve the quality of the oil, the rushank is divided into a core and a husk so that the lipids of the shells containing a large number of related substances do not pass into the oil.
Grinding the core.
The purpose of this operation is to destroy the cellular structure of the nucleus for maximum oil extraction during further technological operations.

Sunflower oil production is a rather complex process that includes several cycles: oil extraction, extraction, filtration, refining, deodorization, freezing.
Let's briefly consider these basic processes.
Squeeze
As a result of pressing, 60-85% of the oil is extracted, that is, pre—extraction of the oil is carried out - pre-pressing. As a result of pre-pressing, pre-pressed oil (often called "first pressing") and pre-pressed cake are obtained.
Extraction
Содержание масла в жмыхе составляет 14-20%, далле его ​направляют на последующее, окончательное извлечение его путем экстракции.
В основе процесса лежит способность растительных масел растворяться в органических растворителях. В результате экстракции получают два вида сырья: экстракционная мисцелла и шрот.
Фильтрация
The oil content in the cake is 14-20%, and then it is sent for subsequent, final extraction by extraction.
The process is based on the ability of vegetable oils to dissolve in organic solvents. As a result of extraction, two types of raw materials are obtained: extraction miscella and meal.
Refining
Refining, that is, the purification of oil from accompanying impurities, occurs in several technological stages:
- Extraction of various mechanical impurities from raw materials through settling, filtration and centrifugation procedures.
- Removal of phosphatides from raw materials by means of exposure to heated oil with alkali in order to remove free fatty acids from its composition, which provoke oxidation and smoke formation during frying of the oil.
​Deodorization​​​
The process is based on the difference in the evaporation temperature of aromatic substances and the oils themselves. Refined deodorized vegetable oil contains fewer nutrients than unrefined vegetable oil. But despite this, there are obvious advantages in this type of oil: it is great for cooking dishes with heat treatment. Also, a huge advantage of refined oil is its long shelf life.
​Freezing
​​​The process of removing waxy substances that pass into oil from the seed and fruit shells of oilseed plants. The process consists in cooling the oil to a temperature of 10-12 ° C and then holding it at this temperature, with slow stirring to form wax crystals. Then the oil is heated to 18-20 ° C, to reduce viscosity and filtered. After that, the oil does not become cloudy when cooled even to 5 ° C.

Sunflower oil is bottled on an automatic filling line in PET bottles of one and five liters. Then the packaged oil is sent to the packaging and sent to the consumer.
