Origin and history

Oils and fats have multiple applications in food formulations not only as a source of energy but also because of their biological activity to transport liposoluble vitamins or hormones. In addition, oils contribute to improve the sensory properties of food. Powdered oils have become a great opportunity for the food and beverage industry due to their capacity for conservation and stability that helps to increase the applications and the development of new functional foods.

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an annual herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family, native to Central and North America. The sunflower oil is extracted from their seeds, a rich source of Vitamin E, linoleic and oleic acids.
