In order to make oil cubes!What is the boiling and freezing point of sunflower oil?
Sunflower oil contains mainly linoleic acid which has a freezing point of -5掳C and a boiling point of 229-230掳C at a pressure of 16 mmHg
Of course, due to other stuff in sunflower oil such as oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid, you can expect a freezing point depression and a boiling point elevation. (Incidentally oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid all have freezing points higher than -5掳C). The actual freezing point is dependent on the percent composition of each component.
In short: the freezing point of sunflower oil should be lower than -5掳C.
