What quality control steps are performed during seed oil production?
Quality control is embedded throughout production. Because oil quality is defined by fatty-acid profile and oxidation state, we test both.
QC Process Overview (Seed Oil)
| Stage | QC Check | Pass Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Seed receipt | Moisture, ID, contaminants | Moisture ≤10%, pass screen |
| Post-extraction | GC fatty-acid profile | LA 30–38%, ALA 23–31% |
| Separation / filtration | Clarity, impurities | Clear, no sediment |
| Pre-fill | Peroxide value (PV), acid value (AV) | PV ≤10 meq/kg, AV ≤3 mg KOH/g |
| Pre-shipment | Full COA panel | All within limits |
| Packaging | Nitrogen flush, seal, label | No leakage, correct net weight |
