What it is

Sunflower oil powder is made by spray-drying liquid sunflower oil with a carrier, often maltodextrin or corn syrup solids. This process turns the liquid oil into a free-flowing powder. Sunflower oil itself is extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sunflower oil powder as a source of fat and oil in dry mixes. It helps improve texture and mouthfeel in products like powdered drinks, soups, and baked goods. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients.

Health notes

Sunflower oil powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of fat, and like all fats, it provides calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sunflower oil and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of sunflower oil powder.

Allergen info

Sunflower oil powder is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
