Verified Cold-Pressed or Virgin Sunflower Oil
Zenith Eclipse manufactures sunflower oil against the expressly selected cold-pressed or virgin process specification. The order records the extraction and permitted purification steps, alongside the buyer's sensory requirements and destination labelling rules.
Quality parameters
Specifications and buying requirements
Illustrative RFQ targets and purchasing requirements, subject to production or supply confirmation and buyer approval. These are not a stock COA or a universal grade. Specify the reporting basis, sampling and test method; the accepted offer defines the final quality and delivery limits. Illustrative RFQ targets for the chosen edible oil class. Under Codex, cold-pressed extraction excludes applied heat; virgin processing may use heat. These are distinct process claims, and neither automatically establishes a high-oleic profile.

Applications
Common uses
For dressings, specialty foods and packing programmes that require a verified extraction claim. The buyer should approve flavour and processing suitability before a commercial run. Buying detail: Select one process class in the purchase specification and request supporting production records. Agree filtration, permitted appearance variation, pack protection and remaining shelf life without assuming refined-oil sensory neutrality.
Export planning

FOB, CFR or CIF may apply to suitable named-port sea contracts; choose the appropriate Incoterm for other handovers.
