Sunflower Oil
Golden Purity. Versatile Cooking
Didwaniya Group supplies premium crude and refined sunflower oil sourced from partnered refineries in Russia and Ukraine. Our blended procurement and quality controls ensure consistent color, neutral flavor and reliable lot-to-lot specifications — ideal for food manufacturers, packers, and bulk buyers seeking dependable edible oil supplies.
Sunflower oil is a light, versatile vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Available in crude and refined forms, it is prized for its neutral taste, high smoke point and favorable fatty-acid profile. Crude sunflower oil is typically supplied to refineries and industrial users, while refined sunflower oil is ready for edible use — suitable for frying, baking, and salad dressings without altering the flavor of finished products.
Major growing regions for sunflower seeds include Eastern Europe, the Black Sea area and parts of Asia; through our partnerships with refineries in Russia and Ukraine, Didwaniya Group leverages established supply chains and processing expertise to deliver oils that meet international food-safety and commercial standards. We work closely with our partners to ensure traceability, hygienic handling and timely shipment for both bulk tanker and packaged formats.

Application
Sunflower oil is widely used across the food industry and beyond. In food processing it serves as a frying oil, bakery shortening, margarine base and salad oil thanks to its neutral flavor and high oxidative stability (especially high-oleic grades). It is also used in confectionery, ready-to-eat snacks and infant food formulations. Outside of direct food uses, sunflower oil is an ingredient in cosmetics, soaps and certain industrial lubricants where a light, non-sticky oil is required.
Storage Condition
Store sunflower oil in clean, dry, well-ventilated warehouses away from direct sunlight, heat sources and strong odors. Ideal storage temperature is below 25°C to preserve quality and extend shelf life; maintain product in food-grade, sealed containers or tanks to prevent moisture and air ingress. For refined edible oil, follow first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory practices and use within the recommended shelf life stated on the CoA.
