Research and Prospect on Quality Evaluation Standards of Oilseeds and Oils in China

Abstract

The team of oil chemistry and processing technology from Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (Academy of NFSRA) has made great contributions to the research and establishment of the quality evaluation standard for main oilseeds and oils in China. A series of standards have been developed or revised based on: (1) investigation and quality analysis of main oilseeds varieties in China, (2) tracking and referencing the development trend of international standards and advanced foreign standards, (3) database of oilseeds qualities and processing formed through undertaking the national and industrial research projects, (4) establishment of the inspection techniques and evaluation methods for vegetable oil qualities. Accordingly, the quality standard systems for oilseeds and oils have been improved, and the processing technology levels have been promoted. The sound and rapid development of industries happened because the market has run in a more and more standardized way. All the standards of oilseeds and oils have served the economic construction generally, and are also providing technical support for safeguarding national interests and the safety of the oil industry.
