Consumers generally have positive attitudes towards organic food because of superior taste, environment- friendliness, health, food safety and animal welfare. During last years, the demand of consumers for organic virgin olive oils have been increased as a result of their high quality image from nutritional and health aspects. In this work sixteen virgin olive oil samples, four obtained by organic and twelve from non-organic cultivation, were analysed by their quality parameters (acidity, peroxide value and UV absorption), fatty acids, sterols and volatile compounds. Qual- ity parameters were not able to discriminate between organic and non-organic samples although significant differences were found in the values of acidity and K270. Fatty acids and sterols content were able to discriminate samples ac- cording to their cultivar but did not show capacity differentiating the samples according to the cultivation system. The results of volatile analysis show that in general terms the organic virgin olive oils showed a higher concentration of volatile compounds, except for the aldehydes, whose concentration was higher in the non-organic oils, and the acids, whose concentration was similar in the both oil classes. The concentration of ketones, aldehydes, and alcohols showed significant variations (p < 0.05) between the two types of oils.","PeriodicalId":46801,"journal":{"name":"OCL-Oilseeds and Fats Crops and Lipids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83427787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cette competition, qui s'exerce au niveau des produits alimentaires mais aussi en amont sur les terres agricoles, est un facteur cle de la disponibilite alimentaire mondiale. Alors qu'on connait deja approximativement la part de la production utilisee en alimentation animale, la prospective Agrimonde Terra** nous permet dans cet article d'estimer les surfaces mobilisees pour ces usages, dont certaines le sont indirectement ou virtuellement. Nous analysons d'abord la composition des regimes animaux exprimee en proteines, a l'echelon mondial en 2005, puis son evolution entre 1961 et 2009. La contribution des oleoproteagineux n'est que de 25 % mais elle a triple depuis 1961. A partir de la, la formulation de quelques hypotheses est necessaire pour estimer les surfaces virtuellement cultivees pour l'alimentation animale car definir les terres dediee a l'alimentation animale n'est pas trivial en raison de la prise en compte des coproduits issus d'une meme culture. Malgre des incertitudes importantes dans les donnees disponibles, nous montrons qu'alors que les productions animales et d'aliments pour le betail ont continuellement progresse, les surfaces correspondantes et la competition pour la terre ont meme decru ces 30 dernieres annees. En effet, la part des terres cultivees pour le betail est passe d'environ 50 % des terres cultivees dans le monde dans les annees 1970 a 37 % aujourd'hui. Cette tendance peut etre attribuee en partie a l'augmentation des rendements culturaux et a la diminution de la part des cereales dans les rations animales au profit des coproduits des oleagineux.

The interest to develop products fortified with vitamin D is thus very important. Regarding references values, it is necessary to distinguish the RDAs (Recommended Daily Allowances), single value set up at 5 μg/d for vitamin D at the European level, in order to be a reference and a labeling value, from the nutritional recommendations. These recommendations are defined by groups of population. The values vary according to the countries and the dates on which they were set, the most recent being usually higher. The vitamin D fortification is less constrained in France today than before 2006. To fortify a food with vitamin D, it is necessary to follow the rules set by the Regulation 1925/2006/EC, and use the formulations authorized, demonstrate the nutritional benefit of the fortification, and ensure that the fortification does not lead to a risk for the health of the consumers. In some countries, the vitamin D fortification has been made mandatory for some foods. In France, several products are fortified with vitamin D, especially dairy products, but also some breakfast cereals and vegetable oils. Finally, the communication that can be made on vitamin D in food or advertising is strictly regulated by the Regulation 1924/2006/EC.","PeriodicalId":46801,"journal":{"name":"OCL-Oilseeds and Fats Crops and Lipids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85171637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A randomized sample of oil palm producers was chosen after categorization into elites, migrants, natives and company workers (past and present) in four palm oil production basins in the Southern part of the country. 176 semi-structured questionnaires were administered. The production basins included: Eseka, Dibombari, Muyuka, and Lobe. Results from the study revealed that elites owned larger average areas (41.3 ha) than the other categories of oil palm producers. All categories recorded low average plantation yields, ranging from 7 to 8.4 t FFB/ha/year (with minimum yields of 3 t FFB/ha). Though the elites showed better bargaining power and higher income, all categories of producers faced similar problems such as the high cost of inputs with no governmental subsidies, the difficulty in accessing loans with low interest rates and the use of rudimentary working tools. Despite such weaknesses, the sector also demonstrates some strengths such as the ability to impose little threat to the primary forest when compared to agro-industrial plantations, the availability of a domestic and sub-regional market for red palm oil, the availability of artisanal mills with low extraction rates although able to generate more income for the producers. There is a need for governmental policies that will strengthen partnership between small and medium oil palm producers and agro-industries as it was the case during the Fonader period, in order to converge with the poverty reduction strategy intiated by the government of Cameroon.","PeriodicalId":46801,"journal":{"name":"OCL-Oilseeds and Fats Crops and Lipids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86151259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cette reglementation a ete renforcee en 2009 dans le cadre du « paquet energie » par l’introduction par la directive energie renouvelable d’un objectif obligatoire d’incorporation de 10 % d’energie renouvelable dans les carburants a l’horizon 2020. Cette legislation est completee par une directive qualite des carburants qui impose une reduction de 6 % d’ici 2020 de l’empreinte carbone des carburants. La forte dieselisation du parc de vehicule en Europe a conduit a une rapide progression de la consommation de biodiesel (11 millions de tonnes dont 9 produites dans l’UE).

L’augmentation de la production de colza a permis de repondre a cette demande, tout en fournissant un coproduit proteique permettant de reduire significativement le deficit en proteines europeen. Le debat sur l’impact du CASI (changement indirect d’affectation des sols) des biocarburants, ainsi que celui sur l’equilibre alimentaire, a conduit la Commission europeenne, 3 ans apres avoir defini sa politique, a proposer de plafonner les carburants issus des cultures (1ere generation) a 5 % et a introduire des « facteurs CASI » dans l’evaluation des effets de reduction des gaz a effets de serre.
