Sunflower oil is used for all food cooking purposes, as
well as in the manufacture of many products such as
mayonnaise. Sunflower oil contains omega-6
polyunsaturated fatty acids which reduces overall
body fat. Sunflower helps store vitamins in our bodies
such as vitamins A, E, and D. Moreover, it reduces
cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease. Sunflower oil contains vitamin E and

Olein oil
Palm olein, a derivative of palm oil, is the world’s most popular and widely produced and consumed vegetable oil. Palm oil is known for its balanced fatty acid composition, with 50% saturated fats and 50% unsaturated fats, further divided into 40% monounsaturated fats and 10% polyunsaturated fats. The monounsaturated fats are primarily composed of oleic acid (omega-9), while the saturated fats are mainly composed of palmitic acid.
Being plant-based, palm oil is naturally cholesterol-free and contains various beneficial plant nutrients, including vitamin E, squalene, coenzyme Q10, and phytosterols. These nutrients contribute to palm oil’s role beyond mere calories in our diet, playing a crucial part in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Palm olein finds extensive applications in various food products, including cooking oil, Margarine and shortening, Infant formula, Ice cream, Vegan cheese, and Dairy fat alternatives.
