About Deodorized sunflower oil

Deodorized sunflower oil is sunflower oil that has undergone refining, including deodorization to remove much of its characteristic aroma and flavour. It is usually a clear, pale-yellow liquid with a mild taste. Its exact fatty-acid profile depends on the sunflower variety and whether the oil is conventional or high-oleic.

It is used for frying, baking, and general cooking where a neutral flavour is desired, and is also used in manufactured foods. Refined and unrefined sunflower oils differ in flavour and processing; oils made from different sunflower types are not compositionally identical. The name does not specify whether the oil is high-oleic or another type.
