Crude Sunflower Oil

Crude Sunflower Oil — unrefined, mechanically extracted sunflower oil supplied for bulk purchase and international export. As a crude sunflower oil supplier and exporter, France AJ Group Ltd (UK) supplies refineries, food producers, biodiesel manufacturers, cosmetics processors, wholesalers and commercial buyers in flexitank, flexibag and bulk tanker/vessel, with a minimum order of one full container load (approx. 24–27 MT). Product quality and specifications are subject to the final certificate of analysis (COA) provided for each shipment.

What Is Crude Sunflower Oil?

Crude sunflower oil is unrefined sunflower seed oil that has been mechanically extracted to preserve its natural nutrients and intrinsic properties. It has a golden to amber colour and a mild, neutral taste, and is supplied as a raw material for further processing rather than for direct consumption. Buyers sourcing crude sunflower oil in bulk use it as a refinery feedstock, as an input for biodiesel and cosmetics, and in industrial food-grade refining, choosing it for its natural profile and consistent quality at container and vessel scale.

Crude Sunflower Oil Specification

Most suppliers quote "crude sunflower oil" and stop there. That is a description, not a specification. We state indicative values below; the final specification is confirmed on the certificate of analysis issued for each shipment, so refineries and manufacturers can verify the product against their own intake requirements.

Indicative values only. The final certificate of analysis accompanies each shipment and governs the contracted specification.

What the Specification Means for Your Line

Specification figures only matter if you know how they translate to processing. A maximum free fatty acid content of 2% and a peroxide value of ≤ 10 meq/kg indicate a crude oil suitable for refining, while low moisture (0.15% max) and impurities (0.2% max) support stability in storage and transit. All figures are indicative and confirmed on the certificate of analysis, making this oil a dependable feedstock for refineries, biodiesel producers and industrial processors.
