Three sunflower genotypes with around 43 g/100 g of oil content can be stored at ambient conditions for 10 months without loss of quality for biodiesel industry.
Accelerated test aging with cyclic variation of temperature and humidity, built to reproduce a typical variations of temperature and humidity of a region, leads different degradation mechanisms of sunflower seeds, when compared to constant traditional storage condition.
Summer aging simulation accelerates the peroxide formation to levels well above of the constant storage condition.
