1. Descaling. Seeds are separated from impurities. The shells are then used for the production of energy (fuel) and feed.

2. Crushing and extraction. The grinding is needed to break the plant cells which are then subjected to pressing for oil. In industry, the extraction is performed by authorized solvents.

3. Refining: This phase removes impurities that have formed at earlier stages, in order to soften the taste of the oil and reduce acidity. The final product is a pale yellow oil and slightly sweet flavor, with a maximum acidity of 0.2 º. The trade name is "refined sunflower oil."
