英国就奇亚籽油作为新型食品配料征求意见

    食品伙伴网讯  据英国食品标准局消息，6月19日英国食品标准局就一家公司申请将奇亚籽油（chia oil）作为新型食品配料销售征求意见，并制定了奇亚籽油在蔬菜油中的最大使用量及食品补充剂的推荐每日摄入量。

    奇亚籽油来源于芡欧鼠尾草，其中含有丰富的多不饱和脂肪酸（α-亚麻酸和亚油酸）。本次征求意见截止2013年7月1日。

    部分原文报道如下：

    A Chilean company has applied to the FSA to market chia oil as a novel food ingredient and views are wanted on the FSA's independent advisory committee draft opinion. This is the first application for the use of chia oil, but the advisory committee has previously considered two applications for the authorisation of chia seeds, which are the source of chia oil, in a number of food categories.

    .Chia oil and seeds are from the chia plant （also known as Salvia hispanica L）。 The oil contains significant quantities of alpha linolenic acid and linoleic acid, which are polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    The company applying is Functional Products Trading SA.
