Verified Low-Erucic Rapeseed Oil
Zenith Eclipse manufactures rapeseed oil against a documented low-erucic specification when this class is requested. Verification requires representative lot analysis and the agreed identity criteria; low erucic content does not describe the extraction or refining method.
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. RFQ example for a refined edible low-erucic grade. Codex identifies low-erucic rapeseed oil at no more than 2% erucic acid in total fatty acids; the destination or contract may require a tighter limit.
| Parameter | Indicative RFQ target |
|---|---|
| Erucic acid | Maximum 2.0% of total fatty acids under the cited Codex identity; agree any tighter requirement |
| Identity evidence | Representative lot fatty-acid analysis with method and sample traceability |
| Processing state | Refined example; crude or mechanically extracted orders need a separate quality schedule |
| Acid value | Illustrative refined-grade target: maximum 0.6 mg KOH/g oil |
| Peroxide value at release | Illustrative target: maximum 5 meq active oxygen/kg oil |
| Moisture and volatile matter | Illustrative target: maximum 0.10% by mass |
| Insoluble impurities | Illustrative target: maximum 0.05% by mass |
| Flavour and colour | Define the finished-oil acceptance sample and colour method |
| Food-use evidence | Confirm applicable residue, contaminant, additive and labelling requirements |
Applications
Common uses
For food-processing and bottling programmes requiring a verified low-erucic oil, subject to approval of the full edible-grade specification. Buying detail: State the destination, intended food category and the erucic-acid limit in your purchase brief. Require results on the fatty-acid basis shown here; an unrelated percentage or a generic seed description cannot replace the oil analysis.
Export planning
Shipping & logistics
Food-contact drums, IBCs or approved food-grade bulk tanks can be considered following route and quantity review. Preserve lot identity across storage, loading and documents, with previous-cargo and cleanliness checks agreed. FOB, CFR or CIF may be quoted for suitable sea movements at the named port with the Incoterms edition specified.
