Sunflower oil is rich in valuable organic compounds: unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) and saturated fatty acids (stearic, palmitic). It consists of phosphorus-containing substances, tocopherols (vitamin E and its derivatives) and waxes, the amount of which varies depending on the method of pressing and processing oil. Therefore, the replacement of animal fats with sunflower oil is a good prevention of various diseases.
