食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)英國(guó)食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局消息，6月19日英國(guó)食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局就一家公司申請(qǐng)將奇亞籽油（chia oil）作為新型食品配料銷售征求意見，并制定了奇亞籽油在蔬菜油中的最大使用量及食品補(bǔ)充劑的推薦每日攝入量。

    奇亞籽油來(lái)源于芡歐鼠尾草，其中含有豐富的多不飽和脂肪酸（α-亞麻酸和亞油酸）。本次征求意見截止2013年7月1日。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    A Chilean company has applied to the FSA to market chia oil as a novel food ingredient and views are wanted on the FSA's independent advisory committee draft opinion. This is the first application for the use of chia oil, but the advisory committee has previously considered two applications for the authorisation of chia seeds, which are the source of chia oil, in a number of food categories.

    .Chia oil and seeds are from the chia plant （also known as Salvia hispanica L）。 The oil contains significant quantities of alpha linolenic acid and linoleic acid, which are polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    The company applying is Functional Products Trading SA.
