  • Why is argan oil not included in the CODEX standard?
  • Argan oil is not included in the Codex standard because its use outside of Morocco is relatively new. Nevertheless, the parameters can be applied to ensure the quality of cold pressed argan oil. The loss of quality of cold pressed argan oil is directly correlated with the sensory evaluation of the product.
  • Does cold pressed argan oil have a sensory quality?
  • The sensory quality of cold pressed argan oil is altered if the production has not been performed with reasonable care regarding raw material and extraction. Only oil from roasted seeds extracted by a screw-press had a sufficient sensory quality over a period of 20 weeks without unacceptable sensory attributes.
  • What are the parameters for the quality of an edible oil?
  • The most important parameters for the quality of an edible oil are its odor and taste. The product should be free from foreign and rancid odor and taste. Argan oil is not included in the Codex standard because its use outside of Morocco is relatively new. Nevertheless, the parameters can be applied to ensure the quality of cold pressed argan oil.
  • What are the quality parameters of argan oil?
  • Moreover, the evaluation of argan oils quality parameters demonstrated that the enzyme extracted argan oils showed low oxidation, with the following quality parameters: acid values (0.4–0.6 mg/g), iodine values (95–110 g/100 g), dienes ( K232 < 2), trienes ( K270 < 0.35), and peroxide values (<1.5 meq/kg).
  • What is the yield value of argan oil?
  • Charrouf described the cold press extraction process of the argan oil, and mentioned a yield value of 50%, which, despite being low in comparison with the other extraction techniques, stays higher than the traditional extraction that gives only 30% of oil with poor microbiological quality [
  • What is a quality standard for edible oils?
  • One important quality standard for edible oils is the Codex Standard for named vegetable oils - CODEX STAN 210- 1999 . It contains the fatty acid composition of different vegetable oils and fats and some quality criteria such as phytosterol and tocopherol composition, as well as some physical and chemical parameters.
