Sunflower oil winterization is also called sunflower oil dewaxing. The name winterization appears during winter. When the temperature is low, waxes present in sunflower oil will crystallize, which gives hazy appearance to the sunflower oil.

So sunflower oil dewaxing is essential when the sunflower oil is used as salad oil. The presence of wax makes the oil appear cloudy at room temperature. The oil normally becomes cloudy in 5–6h but with proper dewaxing the oil remains clear after 24h of storage at 0˚C.
