Gulf Standard GSO 1929/2012 Foreword GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) is a regional Organization which consists of the National Standards Bodies of GCC member States. One of GSO main functions is to issue Gulf Standards /Technical regulations through specialized technical committees (TCs). GSO through the technical program of committee TC No.: 5 " technical committee for Sector Of foods and agriculture products " has updated the GSO Standard No. (1929/ 2009) : Edible Vegetable Oils – Part II. The Draft Standard has been prepared by STATE OF KUWAIT This standard has been approved as a Gulf (Technical Regulation) by GSO Board of Directors in its meeting No.( ),held on / / H , / / G. The approved standard will replace and supersede the GSO standard No. (1929/2009) . 2 Gulf Standard GSO 1929/2012 Introduction This standard is the second part of the specification of Edible Vegetable Oils, and it is complementary to the first part of which was prepared by the State of Qatar No. GSO 1745:2011. The standard international CODEX-STAN 210 (Amended 2005, 2010) has been adopted as an essential reference in the preparation of this part. This standard includes the following oils: 1- Arachis oil 2- Babassu oil 3- Coconut oil 4- Grape seed oil 5- Rape seed oil 6- Rice bran oil 7- Sesame seed oil 8- Sunflower seed oil 9- Sunflower seed – high oleic acid 10- Sunflower seed oil – mid oleic acid 3 Gulf Standard GSO 1929/2012 Edible Vegetable Oils – Part II 1- Scope This Gulf standard is concerned with edible vegetable oils mentioned in Clause (3). 2- Complementary References 2.1 GSO 9 "Labeling of prepackaged food stuffs" 2.2 GSO 15 "Methods of sampling for edible oils and fats" 2.3 GSO16 "Physical and chemical methods for testing edible vegetable oils and fats" 2.4 GSO 17 "Methods of test for permitted food additives in edible oils and fats- part1" 2.5 GSO 19 "Permitted food additives in edible oils and fats" 2.6 GSO 20 "Methods for the determination of contaminating metallic elements in foodstuffs" 2.7 GSO 21 "Hygienic regulation for food plants and their personnel" 2.8 GSO/ISO 5508 "Animal and vegetable oils and fats – Part 2: Analysis by gas chromatography of methyl esters of fatty acids". 2.9 GSO 382, GSO 383 "Maximum limits of pesticide residues in agricultural and food product – part 1and 2" 2.10 GSO 839 "Food packages- part 1: general requirement" 2.11 GSO 988 "Limits of radioactivity levels permitted in food stuff–part 1" 2.12 GSO/ISO 5509 ""Animal and vegetable oils and fats – Preparation of methyl esters of fatty acids". 3- Definitions 3.1 Edible vegetable oil Edible food product which are composed primarily of glycerides of fatty acids being obtained only from vegetable sources.
