Indian StandardSPECIFICATION FOR MUSTARD OIL

(Second Revision)

o. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by theIndian Standards Institution on 25 September 1975, after the draftfinalized by the Oils and Oilseeds Sectional Committee had beenapproved by the Chemical Division Council and the Agricultural andFood Products Division Council.

0.2 This standard was first published in 1954 and subsequentIy revised 'in 1963. India is one of the largest producers of mustard and rape seedsin the world. The chief producing areas in the country of mustard andrape seeds are Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.The vegetable oil derived from the seeds of rape and mustard is popularlyknown as SARSON·KA-TEL (~ lfiT (f~).

0.3 In India, mustard oil is obtained from the seeds of a number or 'species of plants or their mixture belonging to the genus Brassica, It is)therefore, impossible to identify the plant species from the seeds of whichthe oil is derived in trade. There exists great confusion about the propernomenclature of Indian oleiferous Brassica. The confusion in the use oflocal names for rape and mustard seeds is even greater than thatprevailing in respect of their corresponding botanical nomenclature. As I

a result of systematic botanical studies, the following nomenclature ofrapes and mustards has been generally accepted in India:

Sl Botanical Name of Common Name Common NameNo, Plant Sptcies in English in Hindi

(1) (2) (3) (4)

i) Brassica campestris Linn. Yellow SARSON PILI SARSONvar yellow sarson (~~T)

ii) Brassica campestris Linn. Brown SARSON liALI Lc;ARSONvar brown sarson (;mft ~~T)

iii) Brassica campestris Linn. TORIA TORIA OR LAHIvar toria (mfun lff~)

iv) Brassica juncea Linn. Mustard RAI (uf)Czern. & Coss.

S

IS 1546 .1'75

0.3.1 With regard to the relationship that these oilseed crops bear tothe corresponding crops in Europe, RAJ corresponds to mustard) SARSONto colza and TORIA to rape. Brassica napus Linn. is not grown in Indiaat all.

0.4 Large quantities of the oil are used for edible purposes; in fact, thecharacteristic pungent odour of the oil is at times taken as the criterionfor judging its quality. Inferior quality oil is generally used as anilluminant and as a lubricant for axles of carts. The oil is also used forpharmaceutical purposes.

0.5 In this revision the oil obtained by the process of solvent-extractionhas also been included. The earlier version of the standard covered theoil obtained by the process of expression only. Care has also been takento ensure that the material is free from argemone oil which is reported tocause epidemic dropsy. After the issue and implementation of theSolvent Extracted Oil, Deoiled Meal and Edible Flour ( Control) Orderof 1967, the refined grade of solvent-extracted oil has been widelyaccepted for edible purposes and the solvent-extracted rape and mustardseed oil is one such example. Amendment No. I ofJanuary 1969 issuedto this standard has also been incorporated in this revision.

0.6 In the preparation of this revised standard considerable assistancehas been derived from the data supplied by various processors of solvent­extracted oils; Regional Research Laboratory, Hyderabad; and SolventExtractors Association of India, Bombay. The assistance so derived isthankfully acknowledged.

0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded' off inaccordance with IS : 2-1960·. The number of significant places retained

• in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified valuein this standard.

1. SCOPE1.1 This standard prescribes requirements and methods of sampling andtest for mustard oil used for edible and industrial purposes.

2. TERMINOLOGY2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given under 2 ofIS: 548 ( Part I )-1964t and the following shall apply.
