What is the pasturization point of sunflower oil?

I assume that you know the difference between pasteurization and sterilization.





There are two types of pasteurisation used today: high temperature/short time (HTST) and ultra-high temperature (UHT). There are basically two methods for the HTST type of pasteurisation in use- batch and continuous flow. In the batch process, a large quantity of liquid (milk, honey, oils, etc.) is held in a heated vat at 63掳C (145掳F) for 30 minutes, followed by quick cooling to about 4掳C (39掳F). In the continuous flow process also known as HTST, for high temperature, short time, the liquid is forced between metal plates or through pipes heated on the outside by hot water. HTST is by far the most common method (except in Europe where UHT is more common). A Liquid simply labeled ';pasteurized'; is usually treated with the HTST method, whereas liquid labeled ';ultra-pasteurized'; or simply ';UHT'; must be treated with the UHT method. UHT involves holding the liquid at a temperature of 138 掳C (280 掳F) for at least two seconds.

Edible oils are NOT pasterurized.





They are filtered ; double filtered or refined to increase their shelf life.
