Rapeseed Oil · Manufacturing enquiries
Crude Rapeseed Oil
Our crude rapeseed oil manufacturing enquiries start with the receiving processor's intake specification. Define extraction, degumming and fatty-acid class separately; the description crude rapeseed oil does not by itself establish low-erucic or canola identity.
Quality parameters
Specifications and buying requirements
Illustrative RFQ targets and purchasing requirements, subject to production or supply confirmation and buyer approval. These are not a stock COA or a universal grade. Specify the reporting basis, sampling and test method; the accepted offer defines the final quality and delivery limits. Illustrative RFQ values for further processing. The agreed grade, analytical methods and end-use requirements control acceptance; this table is not a certificate of edible suitability.
| Parameter | Indicative RFQ target |
|---|---|
| Extraction method | Mechanically extracted or solvent-extracted; declare the actual route |
| Degumming state | Un-degummed or degummed, explicitly identified |
| Free fatty acids (FFA) | Example: maximum 2.0% by mass, expressed as oleic acid |
| Moisture and volatile matter | Example: maximum 0.20% by mass |
| Insoluble impurities | Example: maximum 0.10% by mass |
| Phosphorus | Report mg/kg; contract maximum set against refinery intake and degumming state |
| Erucic acid | Report % of total fatty acids; classify against the buyer's declared use |
| Oxidation and colour | Report peroxide value and named colour test; agree receiving limits |
| Residual solvent and contaminants | Route-specific declaration and an agreed analytical panel |
Applications
Common uses
For edible-oil refining when source, chemistry and food-chain requirements are documented, or for separately contracted industrial conversion. The receiving process determines the required intake quality. Buying detail: State the required rapeseed class, refinery location and permissible phosphorus level. If a canola claim is required, include source-identity evidence in addition to the oil's erucic-acid result.
Export planning
Shipping & logistics
Export volume and route determine whether bulk tanks, drums or IBCs are appropriate. Agree previous-cargo acceptance, cleanliness, sampling and documents; food-refining consignments require a suitable food-contact chain. FOB, CFR or CIF may be offered for appropriate sea routes with a named port and specified Incoterms edition.
