Kalite kontrolleri ve spesifikasyonlar
Cătina, kimyasının menşei kadar önemli olduğu nadir botaniklerden biridir. Pulp (mezokarp) yağı ve çekirdek yağı kimyasal olarak farklı ürünlerdir — alıcılar hangisini istediklerini belirtmeli, tedarikçi yağ asidi profilini, C vitamini içeriğini, peroksit değerini ve AB standartlarına göre kontaminasyon panellerini belgelemelidir.
- Pulp yağı (turuncu mezokarp): palmitoleik asit (Omega-7) tipik %25–35 — ticari olarak nadir Omega-7 kaynağı
- Çekirdek yağı (açık sarı): linoleik + α-linolenik dominant, dengeli Omega-3/Omega-6 profili ~1:1
- C vitamini içeriği: tipik 200–800 mg / 100 g taze meyve — ılıman iklim meyveleri arasında en yüksek seviyelerden
- Karotenoid + flavonoid paneli (β-karoten, zeaksantin, kuersetin glikozidleri)
- Peroksit değeri <10 meq O₂/kg soğuk pres yağlar için; N₂ veya amber cam altında depolama
- Ağır metaller (Pb, Cd, Hg, As) EU Reg. 2023/915'e göre — yabani hasat lotları için kadmiyum taraması gerekebilir
- Pestisit kalıntı paneli; EU-Organic operatör statüsü açıklanır (kontrol kuruluşu kimliği Analiz Sertifikası başına)
- IQF meyveler: görsel + mikrobiyolojik panel (TPC, mayalar ve küfler, Salmonella, E. coli) EU Reg. 2073/2005 hizalı
Numune talebi: format başına 100–500 g, imzalı gizlilik notu karşılığında 5–7 iş günü içinde gönderilir. Ön lansman aşamasında kısmi navlun maliyeti karşılığında daha büyük değerlendirme lotları mevcut.
Sıkça sorulan sorular
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.
