T/LYCY 001-2018 Superior-grade Camellia Seed Oil

Scope

Scope: This standard specifies the terms and definitions, classification, basic composition, and main physical parameters of special and superior-grade Camellia seed oil; requirements; testing methods and rules; labeling; packaging; storage; transportation; and sales, etc. This standard applies to Camellia seed oil produced from Camellia seeds as raw materials. Main technical content: On the basis of the original national standard, this standard creatively proposes higher grades of special and superior grades. For the first time in the industry, nutritional components are included in the quality indicators. To improve product safety, stricter requirements are proposed for the benzo[a]pyrene content in food safety indicators, and higher requirements are also set for the acid value, which is stricter than the national standard. To reduce and prevent counterfeit and inferior products and behaviors, and to provide consumers with authentic Camellia seed oil products, the China Medium and Small Enterprises Wood Oil Association proposed two-dimensional code anti-counterfeiting measures for Camellia seed oil. With the support of governments at all levels of Camellia production, a traceability system for Camellia seed oil was established. Therefore, specific requirements for marking two-dimensional codes on product outer packaging and recording traceable information for traceable management were added to the industry standard.
