## Abstract Sunflower seed has been cultivated in Khartoum during both the summer and winter, and the analytical results for the respective oils are given. It is observed that increased temperature during the period of ripening of the seed leads to a very much reduced linoleic acid content in the o

Abstract
For investigating the effects of degumming, neutralization, winterization and deodorization operations on the composition of sunflowerseed oil, samples were collected from each respective stage of a commercial oil refining factory in TekirdaΗ§, Turkey. Based on laboratory analyses, it was concluded that there were no significant changes in specific gravities, refractive indices, saponification numbers. Iodine values and fatty acid compositions were altered slightly during winterization. There was a gradual decrease throughout each consecutive stage of refining, in free fatty acids, phospholipids, unsaponifiables, tocopherols, sterols and iron contents. Also, slight changes were observed in relative distribution pattern of individual tocopherol and sterol components. The overall oil quality, from points of oxidative stability and nutritional status, was not lower than the original crude sunflower seed oil.
