Sunflower seed was cold pressed to obtain crude oil, then the crude sunflower seed oil was degummed, dried and dewaxed under certain conditions, and the dewaxing conditions of cold pressed sunflower seed oil were mainly studied. The dewaxing conditions were optimized by single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment as follows: crystallization temperature 10°C, crystallization time 16 h and stirring speed 12r/min. Under the optimal conditions, the contents of wax and unsaturated fatty acids in refined cold pressed sunflower seed oil were 27.8 mg/kg and 90.26%, respectively.
