Organic Safflower Oil and its use in the food industry

The Organic Safflower Oil from SanaBio represents a healthy and vegan alternative to butter in the food industry. Due to special breeding of the safflower (also called safflor), the proportion of oleic acid, which gives the oil its name, is increased: Organic Safflower Oil. This increase makes our Organic Safflower Oil suitable for frying and deep-frying. Additionally, refining our Organic Safflower Oil increases its smoke point, which favors the use of our oil for frying in the food industry.

We also offer the natural, linoleic acid-rich variant of Organic Safflower Oil.

Interesting facts

The flower color of the safflower (dyer’s safflower) resembles saffron, which explains its nickname false saffron. Earlier, the dyer’s safflower was cultivated to obtain the safflor-red dye carthamin; today it is mainly grown for oil production. Even the Egyptians used the dyeing properties of safflower to color mummy cloths.

The safflower grows quickly up to its final height of up to 1.3 meters. Its leaves are thorny, and its flower looks like a small basket from which up to 150 orange-yellow tubular flowers grow.

The seeds of the safflower, which consist of up to 40 percent fatty oil, are cold pressed to produce safflower oil.
