In this study fat, sugar and moisture content of sunflower halva products from Romanian market were compared. Sunflower halva samples from three different producers (A, B, C) were purchased from the market. From the producer C two different batches were analyzed (C1 and C2). Researches shows a total fat content between 37.17-43.95%, total sugars within 20.40-34.40% and moisture content ranged between 2.74-3.84%.
