Over the years, sunflower oil remains the most popular and in demand among the population. Up to 70% of vegetable oil produced on the territory of our country is precisely sunflower oil. Oil is made from sunflower seeds, which are grown in large quantities in many countries, due to the low cost of raw materials and low cost of production, this vegetable oil is one of the most affordable.

  Refined sunflower oil contains few useful substances and is used for frying.

Unrefined oil

Unrefined oil is considered to be the most useful, since it preserves all the useful substances of sunflower seeds. Unrefined sunflower oil is produced in a cold and hot way.

In the first method, a cold extraction of sunflower seeds is carried out, the oil is filtered and is not subjected to any further processing. Such a product is considered the most useful, but its shelf life is very short. The oil has a dark saturated color, a characteristic aroma, sediment is allowed.

The second method of manufacturing unrefined sunflower oil is hot pressing. Before the extraction, the sunflower seeds are heated, after the extraction physical methods of oil purification can be applied (filtration, centrifugation, “freezing”), but no chemicals are used. The oil becomes more transparent, but this practically does not affect its taste and beneficial properties.

Unrefined sunflower oil in no case can be used for frying, with heat treatment it loses all the beneficial properties and becomes very harmful to the body.

Refined oil

Refined oil is obtained by extraction, the sunflower seeds are poured with an organic solvent, which is removed after oil separation. After this process, sunflower oil becomes transparent, light yellow in color, it has almost no smell, but there is no taste, and there is very little benefit in it. Such a product can be used for frying food, but you should not abuse it.

The benefits of sunflower oil

The amount of nutrients contained in sunflower oil may vary depending on the place and growing conditions of sunflowers and the processing method. But in any case, this product is rich in vitamins E (it is most abundant in this oil), A, D, group B, trace elements, inulin, tannins, and fatty acids, most of which are represented by unsaturated fatty acids. This vegetable oil cannot be distinguished by the amount of useful substances, although there are a lot of these substances in it. But the low price makes it one of the most affordable lean products, which undoubtedly have a positive effect on human health.

Sunflower oil has a comprehensive beneficial effect on the whole body (recall that we are talking about unrefined oil).

A complex of unsaturated fatty acids, united by one term - vitamin F (by the way, it is not synthesized in the human body), the body needs for normal fat metabolism. Upon receipt of a sufficient amount of this vitamin, lipid metabolism is established, the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood decreases, fat metabolism improves, due to which sunflower oil helps in the fight against excess weight.

Sunflower oil has a mild laxative effect, improves digestion, and the biliary system, that is, it helps to establish the process of natural cleansing of the body. The good work of the digestive system has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the whole organism and is reflected in its appearance.

Vitamin-mineral complex and inulin help strengthen the immune system. Vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant, protects the cells of the body from premature aging, has an antitumor effect, and improves the condition of the skin and hair. The use of unrefined sunflower oil on the state of the nervous system has a positive effect.

In the composition of cosmetic products of industrial production, you rarely see sunflower oil, but there are a lot of folk recipes for face and body skin care. It is used as a base for nourishing and moisturizing face masks, scrubs and body wraps.

Vegetable oil is a popular product that is used by housewives around the world in cooking when preparing salads, soups, when frying, stewing and canning. How to get sunflower oil, what are the unique properties of this useful product, what are the benefits and harms of unrefined oil - these are the range of issues that will be discussed in this article.

What is sunflower oil

Vegetable oil obtained from oilseeds is called sunflower. It is extracted from ripened sunflower seeds, and is widely used in culinary, industrial canning, soap making, paint and varnish production, pharmaceutical, cosmetic production (it is part of various ointments, creams). The industrial method of squeezing seeds was invented in 1829, since then it is the most popular Russian oil product.

Composition

The main beneficial component in the chemical composition of sunflower oil is omega fatty acids. This type of vegetable oil product is an almost indispensable source of vegetable fats: saturated fatty, unsaturated fatty (oleic acid) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, linolenic acid) - vitamin F. In addition, the product is saturated with vitamins D, A and E. Energy value (calorie content) - 899 kcal. The content of all substances per 100 g of product is shown in the table below:

Kinds

There are several types of classification of vegetable oils, including sunflower. The types of product are distinguished by the method of production (type of extraction) - cold (most useful), hot extraction, and obtained by extraction. The following types of sunflower oil that have passed various cleaning methods are common:

• unrefined sunflower (rough mechanical cleaning; has a sharp specific smell);
• hydrated (purified with hot water);
• refined (additionally purified after mechanical cleaning);
• deodorized (deodorization - steam treatment under vacuum).

To answer the question which vegetable oil is better to buy, you need to understand which method of purification in the product retains a greater amount of useful substances. After passing through several stages of purification, the nutritional properties of sunflower oil are reduced; therefore, unrefined cold-pressed unrefined oil product that preserves the maximum percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids is considered the most useful.

How do

The product manufacturing process begins with the cleaning and grinding of sunflower seeds. The higher the humidity and the degree of ripening of the raw seeds, the greater the amount of product obtained at the output. Before squeezing the seeds, a pulp or peppermint is obtained from them. Then, by pressing or extraction (chemical separation of the resulting mixture into an oil product and miscella), oil is extracted from this mass. During subsequent refining, it is further purified using hot water.

Application

A vegetable oil product from sunflower is one of the most popular Russian dressings, which is widely used for preparing a wide variety of dishes, for dressing salads. However, cooking is not the only area of \u200b\u200bits application. Due to the high oleic composition, the product is used in the manufacture of cosmetics, added to ointments and creams. They use it in its natural form - in the process of treating a number of diseases and promoting health. Traditional healers recommend drinking a tablespoon of the oil in the morning on an empty stomach to improve digestion.

The benefits of sunflower oil

Sunflower seeds contain vitamins and a number of essential trace elements, such as phosphorus. The benefits of sunflower oil for the body is a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which normalize metabolic and reproductive processes, improve the condition of the skin and hair, strengthen the vascular walls, and activate the immune system.

Refined

High-quality refined deodorized oil is widely used for frying, it is considered a more dietary product with low cholesterol. In cooking, it is used mainly for frying and canning dishes, transparent, does not have a pronounced smell, does not contain sediment, is perfectly stored for a period of one to three months.

Unrefined

This type of squeezing of sunflower seeds gives a product that preserves the maximum amount of their initial beneficial properties. Therefore, the use of this species is useful for:

• strengthening cell membranes and vascular walls;
• normalization of the digestive system;
• improvement of the endocrine and urogenital system;
• skin strengthening and hair growth.

Cold pressed

With cold pressing technology, the beneficial and healing properties of the oil product are best preserved. Therefore, it is used for most recipes of traditional medicine and in cosmetology, as part of masks for hair, face and hands. Such a product perfectly moisturizes dry skin, making it more elastic, activates the healing and natural renewal of epithelial cells.

Frozen

Freezing technology purifies the oil product from waxy impurities, thereby increasing transparency. Frozen sunflower oil product is recommended for people on a dietary diet, since the content of harmful impurities in it is minimal. Vegetables are fried and stewed on it, added during the preparation of light desserts and pastries.

Sunflower oil treatment

The beneficial properties of sunflower oil (unrefined, obtained by cold pressing) are widely used in folk medicine. The simplest and most effective method of strengthening the overall health of the body is sucking a sunflower oil product in the morning on an empty stomach.

For example, tincture with oregano (3 tbsp.spoons of grass per 0.5 l of oil product) is taken to relieve pain in gastric ulcer.

Sunflower oil in cosmetology

Hello!
  According to tradition and due to geographical features, sunflower oil is the main oil in our kitchens. With it, we indulge in home-cooked ruddy fried potatoes, juicy meatballs and magnificent pastries. And this despite the fact that nutritionists do not recommend too fond of fried foods, and if you fry, then replace the sunflower oil with olive.

This raises the question of whether sunflower oil is so useful, and if so, how to use it to extract this benefit.

The beneficial essence of sunflower oil

Obtained from sunflower seeds by pressure, oil is a product containing 99.9% fat. Another thing is that the fat presented in sunflower oil is extremely beneficial for health, as it consists of fatty acids with a lot of useful functions.

Of greatest interest is linoleic acid, which in the product is up to 62%.

It belongs to the class of essential omega 6 fatty acids that our body is unable to synthesize, and is forced to receive with food, as they are essential for its proper functioning.

Omega 6 is involved in the production of prostaglandins, which in turn improve blood circulation, prevent the occurrence of thrombosis and inflammatory diseases.

Omega 6

• participates in the formation of cell membranes and a number of hormones;
• ensures the correct functioning of the immune system;
• improves visual acuity;
• regulates the course of inflammatory processes;
• and also contributes to the proper functioning of neurons and chemical bonds between cells of the nervous system.

Due to the presence of linoleic acid, sunflower oil is extremely useful:

• for heart muscle health;
• with atherosclerosis, since it carries out the drainage of cholesterol plugs on the inner walls of the arteries;
• to prevent impotence and female diseases, such as mastopathy
• with arthritis;
• hair loss and skin problems.

It's all about balance

The only drawback of omega 6 is its opposition to another type of omega 3 essential fatty acids. Simply put, an excess of omega 6 interferes with the metabolism of omega 3, harming the cerebral cortex and the nervous system of our body. If we use a diet rich in omega 3 acids, they contribute to the rapid release of omega 6 from food and increase the therapeutic effect of these acids (antithrombotic, antiarrhythmic and vasodilator).

The recommended balance between omega 6 and omega 3 acids should be 4: 1. And since sunflower oil contains less than 1% essential omega 3 fatty acids, it should be mixed with olive or linseed oil, as well as nuts, cucumber grass, and any other foods rich in omega 3.

What else is rich in sunflower oil composition

Unrefined sunflower oil is a source of vitamin E with properties. This vitamin not only protects cells from the influence of free radicals, but also prevents their degenerative change. Indispensable for the skin, as well as heart health, proper blood circulation, in the treatment of tonsillitis and atherosclerosis.

In a percentage of vitamin E, sunflower oil is superior. In order to provide the body with a daily dose of this vitamin, you will need either 2 tablespoons of sunflower or 10 olive oil.

The combined effect of vitamin E and linoleic acid provides sunflower oil with a rejuvenating effect on the skin. It forms a special protective layer on the skin that allows you to retain moisture, provide nutritional as well as protective anti-inflammatory function.

Is it possible to fry in sunflower oil

On sale you can find 2 types of oil:

• refined, absolutely useless for health;
• pressed or natural, obtained by cold pressing, all useful properties are preserved in it.

However, so that the body can use them, the oil should not be exposed to high temperatures, at least it destroys vitamin E, and also ensures the formation of substances harmful to health. It is better to fry in olive oil containing a high percentage of oleic acid, and for salads, homemade mayonnaise, natural sunflower oil is ideal. For frying, you can also use refined, provided that

• heating temperature will not be higher than 170 degrees;
• the oil does not smoke in the pan;
• you allow reuse more than 2 times;
• do not fry in darkened butter;
• remove pieces of ice when frying foods that are recommended to be cooked without defrosting, because in addition to “shooting” and spray it is very harmful to the quality of the oil.

Useful properties and contraindications of sunflower oil

2. For ear pain  - crush a large clove of garlic and pour it with sunflower oil, leave for 24 hours, then strain, pour into a bottle and warm slightly in your hands so that the resulting mixture is at body temperature. Apply two drops to a cotton swab and cover their ears.

Sunflower oil contraindications

The main contraindication is the abuse of vegetable oil, the daily dose should not exceed 2 tablespoons per day. This is especially true for people with obesity and diabetes.
Excess fat can increase blood sugar and insulin levels. Also, people with allergies to sunflowers should not be consumed, which is extremely rare. For the rest, in reasonable doses, sunflower oil will only be useful, as a base oil for massage and aromatherapy, a natural medicine and a delicious ingredient in homemade dishes.

The debate over the issue and the benefits of sunflower oil does not stop. Some are in a hurry to assure that refined oil is very unhealthy. Others refuse to buy unrefined because often it has a bitter taste and foams in a pan. There are opinions that just refined oil is able to withstand high temperatures, and natural (not refined), on the contrary, is suitable only for dressing salads. Where to find the truth, and what to choose sunflower oil. The benefits and harms of this product will be discussed in our article today so that you can make your choice.

The benefits of sunflower oil

To begin with, this is one of the most popular products that is used in cooking. Not a single kitchen is complete without its use; each housewife always holds sunflower oil in a darkened cabinet. The benefit and harm of it depends on the method of use, because the product itself is very valuable. It contains vitamins A, D, E, as well as many biologically active substances. Eating this product improves vision, strengthens bone tissue, hair, nails and skin. Sunflower oil favorably affects the endocrine and genitourinary system. Oil is able to preserve many vitamins. For example, carotene in carrots dissolves only when consumed with oil.

The oil is also widely used in cosmetology. Almost all the oils that are in pharmacies (burdock, St. John's wort, nettle and many others) are prepared on its basis. As you can see, sunflower oil is a very valuable product. Its benefits and harms, however, go hand in hand.

Sunflower oil

This is obvious, but it cannot be said about him. The product is very high-calorie, and a large amount of fat in the composition can cause weight gain. Oil should be consumed very moderately. This is especially true for those who are obese. That is, in fact, all the harm that a person can get from this product is that it is quite high-calorie. Therefore, you can not use it in too large quantities. At the same time, dressing salads, you will not harm your body. However, everything fried in oil should be minimized.

Contraindications

Despite the fact that this is a product, not a medicine, it has its contraindications and sunflower oil. The benefits and harms of it are already described, now let's see for whom this product is completely prohibited. These are primarily people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. If you have diseases of the biliary tract and gall bladder, then you should minimize the intake of oil. In addition, in minimal quantities, sunflower oil should be taken with diabetes and high cholesterol.

The benefits of refined oil

You will always recognize this product by its characteristic characteristics - it is a light color, lack of smell and smoke when frying. Therefore, most often, if you plan to cook pies or tortillas, then you will take refined sunflower oil. The benefits and harms of this product are determined by the technology with which it was cleaned. The composition of the product remains the same, the cleaning procedure does not change it. It is carried out in two ways. The first is physical, involves the use of adsorbents. The second is chemical, in this case the oil is passed through alkalis. The second method is more common, as it is easier to control the quality of the final product.

First of all, we can appreciate the advantage of refined oil during frying. It has no taste, does not smoke, and does not form foam. Nevertheless, it is not worthwhile to spread the pan strongly. The smoke point, when the oil begins to burn, forming carcinogens, the refined oil is higher, but it is still there.

Refined Oil Harm

In some cases, if you want to get a product without a smell, you should use frozen sunflower oil. The benefits and harms of this product are little known, but it can be assumed that you get a flavourless purified product without using any alkali or absorbent substances. Manufacturers, of course, claim that the oil is washed well after cleaning and no harmful impurities are stored in it. I want to believe in it, but still the process of home cleaning is much safer. For example, do not use refined fasting sunflower oil at the factory. The benefits and harms of such a product depend on how it is cleaned. No matter how safe industrial alkalis are, their impurities are unlikely to add health.

The benefits of crude oil

Now let's look at unrefined sunflower oil. The benefit and harm of it for a long time were not considered at all, it was recorded in cheap products for the poorest, and all the rest used purified. However, this is fundamentally wrong. Cold-pressed oil is the best you can think of for your health. It preserves the maximum of useful substances that are in sunflower grains. It is it that is very useful for dressing vegetable salads, it can be drunk on an empty stomach in the morning, and you can also rinse your mouth with sunflower oil. The benefits and harms of this ritual have been studied in antiquity. So treat a sore throat, sore throat, relieve headache and toothache. To do this, put a little oil in the mouth and rinse for 20 minutes, after which the oil should be spit out.

This lean food product has long been used as a substitute for animal fats during fasting, or during illness. Dough was made in vegetable oil, baked lean cakes, it was added to cereals.

Unrefined oil harm

When frying from unrefined oil more harm than good. When heating begins, excess moisture in the oil rises, and this immediately leads to the appearance of foam. It is very difficult to control the frying process when the products are covered with a thick layer of foam. Natural smoke begins to smoke at 100 degrees, given that the average temperature of frying pies is 230 degrees, it is clear that the formation of carcinogens is inevitable.

This means that if you decide to fry the meat in aromatic oil, then as a result hopelessly spoil the product, and the whole room will have to be ventilated for a very long time. The smell after frying on unrefined oil is very persistent. Nutritionists unanimously argue that despite the high calorie content, vegetable oil should be present in the diet regularly. At the same time, it is better to take peeled for frying, and unrefined for making sauces and salad dressing. Therefore, you must always have two bottles of oil in your kitchen.

To summarize

Today we examined an important topic, as each of us constantly buys sunflower oil. The benefits and harms (how to take purified and natural oil, we examined in detail earlier) of this product very much depend on how to use it. First of all, you need to observe the dosage, every day it is permissible to use only 2 tablespoons, due to its high calorie content. In addition, in order not to get harmful carcinogens with food, you need to remember that you can only fry in refined oil. But for salads and sandwiches you can use a fragrant, smelling unrefined seeds.

Almost every house in the kitchen has sunflower oil. It is used for frying meat, vegetables, pies, salads. At the same time, no one even thinks that sunflower oil, the composition of which is rich in useful substances, can be used not only in the cooking process, but also in the treatment of various ailments, and the elimination of some appearance defects.

Bit of history

Sunflower oil is a product that is obtained from sunflower seeds. This plant was brought from America to Europe. It turned out to be in our country thanks to Peter I. The king noticed this beautiful plant in Holland and ordered to bring seeds. Sunflower has long been considered a decorative flower. At the end of the 18th century, Academician V. M. Severgin wrote in his writings that oil can be obtained from seeds. However, this information did not arouse wide interest.

Until about the 30s of the XIX century, sunflower was a garden plant. Then the peasant D. Bokarev decided to squeeze the oil from the grains. The experiment was a success. The resulting product turned out to be tasty and served as an alternative to other vegetable oils. Gradually, sunflower became the most cultivated in the country.

The composition of sunflower oil

The product in question includes useful substances:

From the table below, you can find out what sunflower oil includes. The composition is indicated per 100 g of product.

Classification of sunflower oil

Vegetable oil made from sunflower seeds is divided into unrefined and refined. After receipt of the initial product from the raw materials, they are asserted, filtered and sent for hydration and neutralization. The composition of unrefined sunflower oil during these procedures loses phospholipids, substances due to which the oil becomes cloudy during prolonged storage.

The second product from the classification is obtained after passing the full technological scheme of treatment. Sunflower oil is defended, filtered, centrifuged, hydrated. The next process after all this is refining. Sunflower oil is clarified with special adsorbents. The product is then vacuum treated with water vapor. Due to this, the oil loses its original smell, i.e., is deodorized. Processing also eliminates substances that, when exposed to high temperatures, turn into carcinogens and enter the body.

Healing properties of the product

Sunflower oil is necessary for the human body, because it contains beneficial substances. In particular, it is rich in vitamin E. In other vegetable oils, it is found in much smaller amounts (if you compare the composition of olive and sunflower oil, you can see that the latter contains 10 times more of this vitamin). It is necessary for the normal functioning of the heart muscle, gonads. With its deficiency, neurological disorders, hemolysis of red blood cells occur. To prevent such conditions, it is recommended to use an unrefined product with salads (the chemical composition of unrefined sunflower oil contains more useful substances, so it is advised to add it to various dishes and not to use for frying).

Sunflower oil is useful for various ailments. Due to the presence of its own biological composition, it becomes an important ingredient in various ointments, masks, etc. Sunflower oil interacts well with herbal components - medicines prepared according to popular recipes are used:
