Refined Cooking Oil
Refined cooking oil is a type of oil obtained by purifying crude oils through various physical and chemical processes. This process aims to remove unwanted components, impurities, odors, colors and flavors present in the oil. Refined oils have a more neutral taste and odor and can be stored longer and are suitable for high-temperature cooking.
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower plants are generally grown in Thrace, Marmara and Central Anatolia regions. These regions have ideal climate and soil conditions for sunflower cultivation. Sunflower plants ripen and are harvested in late summer. The harvested sunflowers are processed to extract the seeds. Sunflower seeds are separated from their oil using mechanical pressing or chemical solvents. The resulting crude oil is then refined, cleaned and prepared for commercial use. This process improves the taste, odor and shelf life of the oil.Turkey has a significant capacity in sunflower oil production. Sunflower oil produced in the country is both consumed in the domestic market and exported abroad. Turkey's main sunflower oil export markets are the Middle East, North Africa and European countries. Turkish sunflower oil is in demand in international markets due to its high quality and reasonable price.
Corn Oil
Maize is cultivated especially in the Black Sea, Marmara and Mediterranean regions of Turkey. These regions have suitable climate and soil conditions for maize cultivation.
Corn plants ripen and are harvested in late summer and early fall. After being dried and stored, the harvested corn kernels are sent to oil mills for processing.
The embryos of the corn kernels are separated from their oil using mechanical pressing or chemical solvents. The crude corn oil obtained is then refined, cleaned and prepared for commercial use.
Refined corn oil is free of impurities and unwanted components. This process improves the taste, odor and shelf life of the oil. It is an important product in Turkey's agriculture and food sector. With its high quality standards, production capacity and strategic export markets, Turkey has a position to compete globally in corn oil production. This supports the local economy and ensures that Turkish corn oil is recognized and preferred in international markets.
Soybean Oil
Soybean oil is a vegetable oil derived from soybeans. Soybeans are a plant known for its high protein content and versatile uses. Soybean oil is one of the most widely used vegetable oils worldwide and is widely used in various culinary applications such as cooking, frying, salad dressings, margarine and processed foods. It is also used in industrial applications and in the production of biodiesel.
Soybean oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. It is also rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants, making it a health beneficial option.
Vegetable Mixed Oil
Vegetable mixed oil is a type of oil obtained by mixing various vegetable oils in certain proportions. These oils usually consist of commonly used vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil and cottonseed oil. Vegetable blended oils combine the best qualities of different types of oils, providing a more balanced nutritional profile. Turkey's mixed vegetable oil production both meets domestic demand and is exported to various countries. Turkish vegetable mixed oils are also in demand in international markets, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the fleshy part of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruit. This oil has a wide range of uses worldwide and is widely used in many industries such as food, cosmetics, cleaning products and biofuels. Palm oil has a semi-solid structure and can solidify at room temperature due to its high saturated fat content. There are both crude palm oil, known for its reddish color, and palm oil varieties that have been refined and bleached to a more neutral color and taste.
