High oleic sunflower oil for food manufacturing
High oleic sunflower oil is dominated by oleic acid, which makes it more resistant to oxidation than standard sunflower oil. It is chosen for frying, snacks and products where heat stability and shelf life matter. SUNVORA distributes it from Ukrainian origin, in bulk or PET packaging.
High oleic versus standard sunflower oil
| Feature | Standard (linoleic) | High oleic |
|---|---|---|
| Oleic acid (C18:1) | About 14–39 % | 75 % or more (Codex range 75–91 %) |
| Linoleic acid (C18:2) | About 48–74 % | About 2–17 % |
| Iodine value | 118–141 | 78–90 |
| Oxidative stability | Lower | Higher |
| Typical use | Cooking, dressings, retail | Frying, snacks, longer shelf-life products |
| Flavor | Neutral | Neutral |
Ranges follow Codex Stan 210. Commercial high oleic grades commonly declare 80 % oleic acid or more; the value for each batch appears on its COA.
Typical specification (indicative)
| Parameter | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Origin | Ukraine |
| Oleic acid (C18:1) | ≥ 75 % |
| Acid value | ≤ 0.3 mg KOH/g |
| Peroxide value | ≤ 5 meq O₂/kg |
| Moisture and volatile matter | ≤ 0.1 % |
| Insoluble impurities | ≤ 0.05 % |
| Relative density (20 °C) | 0.909 – 0.915 |
| Odor and taste | Neutral |
Applications
- Deep frying and industrial fryers, where oil life and stability reduce cost per batch.
- Snack production and coating.
- Bakery and ready meals that need a long shelf life.
- Products that must keep a neutral flavor over time.
What to ask before you buy
- Target oleic acid content and the full fatty-acid profile on the COA.
- How oxidative stability is measured (for example Rancimat or OSI) and the value required.
- Packaging and shelf life needed for your process.
Formats and minimum order
Available in bulk (flexitank, ISO tank, drums) and PET bottles from 500 mL to 25 L. Orders start from one pallet. Availability by format is confirmed in each quotation. See bulk supply and bottled oil.
Documents that accompany a shipment
Every order is documented so that your customs broker, quality team and auditors can verify what they receive. The basic set is:
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the batch, reporting parameters such as acidity, peroxide value, moisture and purity.
- Certificate of origin (Ukraine).
- Phytosanitary certificate, when the destination country requires it.
- Commercial invoice and packing list.
- Transport document (bill of lading, CMR or equivalent for the mode of transport).

Frequently asked questions
What makes high oleic oil different?
A much higher share of oleic acid and less linoleic acid, which improves resistance to oxidation during frying and storage.
Is high oleic oil more expensive?
Usually yes, because it is a specialised grade. The quotation reflects specification, quantity, packaging and Incoterms® rule.
Can I order it in PET bottles?
Yes, in the PET sizes offered (500 mL to 25 L), subject to confirmation in the quotation.
