  • Testing of the refining unit Mechanically pressed crude sunflower oil was obtained from a local oil mill. The crude oil was kept in tin container away from the light, high temperature and oxygen to avoid auto oxidation. The oil was refined in the developed experimental unit as per the process flow diagramme shown in Fig. 1.

  • Can sunflower oil be refined?
  • Conclusion An experimental oil refining unit has been developed and tested for refining of sunflower oil. Crude pressed sunflower oil obtained from a local oil mill was refined using chemical method by degumming, neutralization, bleaching and dewaxing. The quality and composition of crude and refined oil were compared.
