SAAFoST Oils Webinar

The importance of standards in any industry cannot be underestimated. For any measurement, there are always acceptable ranges and in the oil industry, these ranges are influenced by weather conditions, longitude and latitude, soil types and genetic changes. Precision Oil Laboratories analyse samples ranging from commodity oil to speciality oil products and experience first hand how important accurate ranges of components are.

The contribution of producers to industry standards cannot be underestimated, as all variations must be taken into account when standards are created and updated. This starts with regular testing and compiling of an in-house database.

The New Codex Standard for Avocado oil as well as the SABS standards for marula and Baobab oil will be used as case study to explain how new standards are developed.
