Qualitative indicators affecting the oxidation of rapeseed and linseed oils

Abstract

The production of high-quality and safe vegetable oils is an important economic task. This article analyzes the applied aspects of improving the quality and safety of rapeseed and linseed oils. The factors affecting the quality and safety of rapeseed and linseed oils are analyzed. Studies of consumer preferences for rapeseed and linseed oils in the city of Nur-Sultan have been conducted. The results of the analysis showed that the consumer prefers the quality and safety of vegetable oils. Since the composition and technological properties of oilseed raw materials are influenced by many factors, to regulate the production process and improve the quality and safety of vegetable oils, it is necessary to have information to what extent the quality of oilseed raw materials affects the characteristics of the finished product developed on its basis. By applying an individual approach to the selection of parameters of oilseed raw materials, it is possible to ensure traceability of results and processes for each production cycle of vegetable oils, as well as to effectively implement a production control program by the requirements of regulatory documentation and TR CU 024/2011. The article takes steps to improve the current regulatory and technical documentation for vegetable oils. It is proposed to use an approach based on the traceability system of vegetable oils. From these positions, some key features, and aspects of measuring qualitative indicators affecting the oxidation of rapeseed and linseed oils are considered, and the creation of a national standard «Traceability in the production chain of vegetable oils» is justified. The methodology and methods of research are determined by a systematic approach that allows us to study and identify the relationship between the processes of processing, storage, transportation, and sale of vegetable oils.
