Fatty acids are one of the most well-known and sought-after by-products of the vegetable (most often, sunflower) oil refining process. A GMP+ certified industrial product, fatty acids as the full-cycle crushing and processing facility find their primary market in the animal formula-feed industry, as introducing fatty acids or fatty acid-based compounds to the animal feed ration allows cutting the feed costs. Besides, they are used in food processing as a direct formula ingredient as well as in soap making and production of glycerine and stearin.
