What are the products and by products in sunflower oil production process?

As we all know, the main product of sunflower oil production is crude sunflower oil. Then, what by products else are there in sunflower oil production process? How the value of them? Next, I will make some explanations one by one.

Firstly, the production method of sunflower oil can be divided into two kinds: pressing method and solvent production method. So different product and by products will be got using different methods.

Using pressing method, you can get pressed sunflower oil and sunflower seed cakes. If using solvent production method, you can obtained solvent extracted sunflower oil and sunflower seed meal. 

What are the difference of them? The selling price of pressed sunflower oil is more than solvent extracted sunflower oil. As the crude sunflower oil got from solvent production plant contains a little residual solvent, it must be refined by sunflower oil refinery plant.

But the quality of pressed sunflower seed cakes is less than sunflower seed meal got from solvent production plant, because of high oil residual oil rate. The sunflower seed meal got from solvent production plant is more suitable for making animal feed, so the selling price is higher.

Besides, in large scale sunflower oil production factory, there will be large quantity of sunflower seed shells produced in sunflower oil production process. These sunflower seed shells can be burned in boiler to provide steam or power.

The above is the brief introduction of products and by products in sunflower oil production process. Actually, there are also some by products in crude sunflower oil refining process, such as fatty acid, nigre, wax, etc. They have different usages and value.
