Rapeseed oil inspection ensures the quality and compliance of goods throughout the logistics process, mitigating major trade risks such as non-conformance to specifications, discrepancies in quantities, or incomplete documentation in rapeseed oil export/import operations.

CISS GROUP specializes in providing thorough inspection services for large agribusinesses and international trading companies at warehouses, factories, and ports worldwide.

The unique challenges of rapeseed oil inspection stem from its sulfur compound content, which impacts its nutritional value. In high-glucosinolate varieties, sulfur-based compounds, including isothiocyanates, range from 0.002% to 0.06% in sulfur terms. For food-grade applications, only specific oil grades are suitable, including unrefined oil (highest and first grades) and refined oils (deodorized or non-deodorized) with erucic acid content ≤5% and sulfur content ≤6 mg/kg. Conversely, technical-grade rapeseed oil, characterized by a high erucic acid content and monounsaturated acids (up to 70%), is ideal for alternative fuel production.
