7 Sunflower in Australia Still requirement for 50, mt monounsaturated seed for oil (20,000 mt) Poly sunflower oil use steady at mt Total requirement is >50, mt oil = 130,000 mt seed Small specialty markets Stock feed, confectionary Birdseed and pet food

8 Australia s s Major Sunflower Types MonoUnsaturated Polyunsaturated Bird Seed Confectionery

9 Why is Sunflower So Good For the Grower crop rotation stress tolerance wider planting window tap rooted plant spreads risk low input costs double crop opportunities number of different marketing options For the Consumer healthy oil it is home grown not GMO (yet any way)

10 Sunflower Oil Use Edible Home Use Food Service Industry Spreads Frying Salad dressings Cake and pastry margarine Pastry margarine and shortening Liquid frying oils Frying fats Salad dressing oils Pharmaceutical formula ingredients Spray oils Dairy spreads coffee whiteners

11 Sunflower Oil Use Continued. Non Edible Manufacturing cosmetics lubricants detergents paints crop spray adjuvants diesel extenders

12 Vegetable Oils and Cholesterol Vegetable Oils Monounsaturated Fats (The Good Guys) Saturated Fats (The Bad Guys) Polyunsaturated Fats (They're OK)

13 Cholesterol is transported around the body as lipoproteins Lipoproteins Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) Transports cholesterol from liver tissues High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) Transports unused amounts back to liver and removed Therefore a high ratio of LDL to HDL in the blood can cause a build-up up of cholesterol and lead to a higher risk of coronary disease. Polyunsaturated t Fats - lower both HDL and LDL Monounsaturated Fats - lower LDL, with no effect on HDL

14 So for a healthy heart... USE MONOUNSATURATED SUNFLOWER OIL

15 Sunflower NEW OPTIONS

16 Sunflower Trends A higher awareness in developed world for healthy foods. Substitution of animal fats by vegetable oils Substitution of saturated t fats by unsaturated t oils have less negetative effects for health Higher prices for differentiated t d products with a higher nutritional value. (Oleic vs traditional) Changes in the agricultural l productive systems towards a more sustainable agriculture. More market orientated t product on a needs basis

17 Sunflower Improvement in Australia 1966 High Oil Polyunsaturated OP varieties offered to the Australian farmer Hybrid system developed (France and USA) Breeding activity started in First hybrid variety released in Australia by Pacific Seeds 2 nd in the world First Birdseed hybrid released in 1979 First confection hybrid released in 1983 High Oleic product released in Monounsaturated profile developed for Australian farmers, one of the first countries in the world to adopt this product type High Stearic /High Oleic (NutriSun) types to be available in Argentina and later in Australia

18 TECHNICAL FUNCTIONALITY COMMODITIES Only liquid phase Wide range of fats Solid fats needed High level of solid fats Very special SFC profile SPECIALTIES

19 Fatty acids FOCUS ON QUALITY Fatty acids are classified as: saturated: stearic, palmitic monounsaturated: oleic polyunsaturated: linoleic Saturated fatty acids are solid at environmental temperature and have good properties for frying and margarine production. They are perceived as harmful for human health. (Palm oil) Monounsaturated acids are liquid at environmental temperature, have good properties for frying with beneficial characteristics for human health, and good characteristics as lubricants. (HO or Hyoleic Sunflower) Polyunsaturated ones are liquid at environmental temperature and have good properties p for animal feeding. (Traditional sunflower oil)

29 When will NutriSun be available? Commercial Hybrids: In 2009 planting season of Southern hemisphere - Argentina Oil: - For lab & pilot trials: In 3 rd Q 2007 For industrial trials: In 2008 For industrial use: In 2009

30 Tocopherols Most important antioxidants present in seed oil Two different types of activity In vitro : protecting oil and food containing them from oxidation In vivo : protecting human cells and tissue from free radicals. Also known as vitamin E activity. Move from Alpha to Gamma in future sunflower oil

31 Sunflower Issues Changed domestic industry Grower returns cf. other crops Shift in demand for oil types Quality of the two major sunflower products; I.e. Oil and meal Location of the sunflower industry Amount of imported oil

32 So when you feel like eating... Think of A d h l lf da t li t h lth And help yourself and Australia to a more healthy environment..
