Precision Oil Laboratories provide consultation services to the Fats and Oils industry. The consultation is mainly focussed on increasing the quality of oil produced and ranges from the raw product to the refined and bottled product or composite oil-containing product.
Training is available for the oil industry and is adapted according to the specific focus areas and background of the client. The aim of the training sessions are to supply the vegetable oil producers with sufficient information to improve the quality of oil production. Basic oil chemistry taught during the course gives the producer a thorough background of quality parameters and composition. The training enables oil producers to decide which analyses to request for their specific product. With the background knowledge gained during the training, producers are able to interpret the Certificate of analysis when results are received.
