食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，10月17日歐盟委員會(huì)按法規(guī)（EC）No 258/97要求，批準(zhǔn)Benex ia鼠尾草油作為一種新型食品原料用于食品補(bǔ)充劑，代替其他植物性脂肪以及油脂。

    據(jù)了解，鼠尾草油富含Ω-3脂肪酸，用于食品與飲料后可代替高達(dá)10%的植物脂肪。最新批準(zhǔn)的這種油料由Ingredia Nutritional銷售，該公司曾首次向歐洲推廣鼠尾草種子。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    According to the ruling, the omega-3 rich chia oil can now be incorporated into a range of food and beverage applications replacing up to 10% of plant oils and in food supplements  （2g/day）。

    The Benexia oil is distributed in Europe by Ingredia Nutritional,  the company that first brought chia seeds to Europe.

    The decision was made at the standing committee on plants, animals, food and feed held in Brussels on 17 October 2014. The report from the meeting stated: “The Commission

    representative presented the draft Implementing Decis ion to authorise chia oil （Salvia hispan ica）as a novel food ingredient.”
