Qualitätskontrollen & Spezifikationen
Sanddorn ist eine der wenigen Pflanzen, bei denen die Chemie genauso wichtig ist wie die Herkunft. Fruchtfleisch- (Mesokarp-) Öl und Samenöl sind chemisch unterschiedliche Produkte — Käufer sollten spezifizieren, welches sie benötigen, und der Lieferant sollte das Fettsäureprofil, den Vitamin-C-Gehalt, den Peroxidwert und die Kontaminationspanele gegenüber EU-Standards dokumentieren.
- Fruchtfleischöl (orangefarbenes Mesokarp): Palmitoleinsäure (Omega-7) typisch 25–35% — die seltene kommerziell relevante Omega-7-Quelle
- Samenöl (hellgelb): Linolsäure + α-Linolensäure dominant, ausgewogenes Omega-3/Omega-6-Profil ~1:1
- Vitamin-C-Gehalt: typisch 200–800 mg / 100 g frische Beere — zu den höchsten temperierten Früchten gehörend
- Carotinoid- + Flavonoid-Panel (β-Carotin, Zeaxanthin, Quercetin-Glykoside) — Pigmente liefern die orange Farbe und die Antioxidans-Aussage
- Peroxidwert <10 meq O₂/kg für kaltgepresste Öle; Lagerung unter N₂ oder Bernsteinglas
- Schwermetalle (Pb, Cd, Hg, As) gemäß EU-Reg. 2023/915 — Wildernte-Chargen können einen Cadmium-Screen erfordern
- Pestizidrückstandspanel; EU-Organic-Operatorstatus offengelegt (Kontrollstellen-Kennung je Analysenzertifikat)
- IQF-Beeren: visuelles + mikrobiologisches Panel (TPC, Hefen & Schimmel, Salmonella, E. coli) gemäß EU-Reg. 2073/2005
Musteranfrage: 100–500 g pro Format, Versand innerhalb von 5–7 Werktagen gegen eine unterzeichnete Geheimhaltungserklärung. Größere Bemusterungslose gegen anteilige Frachtkostenerstattung in der Vorstart-Phase verfügbar.
Häufige Fragen
What is the difference between sea-buckthorn pulp oil and seed oil?+
The two oils come from different parts of the same fruit and have materially different chemistry. Pulp (mesocarp) oil is pressed from the orange flesh and is rich in palmitoleic acid (Omega-7), typically 25–35%, plus carotenoids that give it a deep red-orange colour — this is the high-value cosmetic and nutraceutical oil. Seed oil is pressed from the seeds, has a pale yellow colour, and is dominated by linoleic + α-linolenic acid in a roughly 1:1 ratio — closer to a balanced essential-fatty-acid oil. A spec that simply says 'sea-buckthorn oil' without specifying pulp vs seed will almost always cause downstream confusion.
How much Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) does cătină pulp oil actually contain?+
Commercial Romanian pulp oils typically report 25–35% palmitoleic acid by gas chromatography. This is one of the highest plant-based Omega-7 concentrations available at industrial volumes — macadamia nut oil sits around 18–20% as the next-best alternative. The exact figure depends on subspecies (Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. carpatica vs. mongolica), harvest timing, and extraction method. A GC-MS fatty-acid profile report per batch is the contractual proof.
Is Romanian organic-certified sea-buckthorn available at industrial volume?+
Yes, but with caveats. Romania has expanded EU-Organic certified cătină plantations significantly since the early 2020s, particularly in the Bukovina and Moldova regions where the species is climatically native. Industrial volumes (multi-tonne IQF, hundreds of kg of pulp oil) are achievable but typically require harvest-window pre-booking — the berry has a narrow optimal harvest window in September–October and certified operators allocate by contract. Pre-booking 6 months ahead of harvest is the standard procurement pattern for guaranteed allocation.
What are the typical MOQs and packaging formats?+
Dried whole berries: 25 kg cartons / 100 kg paper sacks. IQF berries: 10 kg cartons / 1 tonne pallets for industrial juice and puree lines. Pulp oil: 1 kg amber glass, 5 kg HDPE, 25 kg steel drum with N₂ headspace. Seed oil: 5 kg / 25 kg HDPE. Powder (freeze-dried berry): 5 kg / 25 kg paper-foil sacks. MOQs scale with packaging form — a sample request of 100–500 g is standard before a first commercial PO.
What contamination tests should a buyer specify?+
Standard EU panel: heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, As) against Reg. 2023/915; pesticide residue multi-residue panel (LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS); for IQF and dried berries, microbiological panel (TPC, Yeasts & Moulds, Salmonella, E. coli, Enterobacteriaceae) per Reg. 2073/2005; for oils, peroxide value and acid value at point of dispatch. Wild-harvest lots from areas with historical industrial activity may warrant a more aggressive cadmium screen — Hippophae is a known Cd-accumulator in contaminated soils.
