First commercial production of super high oleic safflower oil
- Mikeh
Our first commercial production of super high oleic safflower oil was completed in late October.
The 92% oleic oil is a pale straw colour rich in natural tocopherols and sterols.

Project Summary
"This project aims to develop a new generation of sustainable surfactants utilising Australian-grown oilseed feedstocks. These molecules are designed to replace current materials made from petroleum and palm oil, to fulfill a key role as the next generation of bio-resourced detergents and emulsifiers. The work seek to develop a library of new molecules to better understand the relationship between molecular structure and performance, through cutting edge lab testing and utilising national infrastructure, guiding the use of new components in formulating new products. It is anticipated that the surfactants generated will find uses in household cleaning and personal care products, providing high value chemicals from key Australian crops."
