Import Crude Sunflower Oil — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in Kenya

Crude sunflower oil from Corazeno Trade Ltd. is extracted from sunflower seeds grown in Kenya’s agricultural belt, with a specific gravity of 0.918 to 0.923 g/cm³ at 20°C and a refractive index of 1.461 to 1.468 at 40°C. The oil has a smoke point above 210°C, a flash point above 230°C, and a Lovibond colour rating of red, indicating natural pigmentation from carotenoids. It is liquid and viscous at temperatures above 20°C, with no sediment or cloudiness reported. The peroxide value does not exceed 15 Meq O₂/kg, and moisture content is held below 0.2%, ensuring low risk of hydrolytic rancidity.

The fatty acid profile shows a high linoleic acid content of 48.3% to 74.0%, typical of high-oleic or conventional sunflower oil varieties. Palmitic acid ranges from 5.0% to 7.6%, stearic acid from 2.7% to 6.5%, and oleic acid from 14.0% to 39.4%. The iodine value falls between 118 and 141 g I₂/100g, consistent with standard unrefined crude oil from African sunflower crops. Insoluble impurities are under 0.05%, and soap content is negligible at 0.005%, suggesting minimal processing during extraction. Unsoaponifiable matter is under 15%, a typical range for mechanically pressed oils without solvent refining.

This oil is primarily sourced by food processors in East Africa for refining into edible oil, and by industrial users for biodiesel feedstock or soap manufacturing. Buyers include regional refineries, private-label edible oil brands, and biofuel producers seeking low-cost, non-GMO feedstock. Packaging is typically in 20-ton bulk tankers or ISO containers, with FOB Mombasa as the standard trade term. Lead time is subject to harvest cycles and export scheduling. Buyers should confirm the lot-specific peroxide and acid values before shipment.
