YAĞLARDA TRANS YAĞ TURŞULARIN TƏYİNİ

Abstract

In order to minimize the use of trans fatty acids in oils, on January 30, 2023, the "Sanitary norms and rules on the regulation of trans fatty acids in edible oils and solid fats" was approved by the decision No. 30 of the AQTA board. Due to the measures taken, the Republic of Azerbaijan has risen from the 2nd level to the 3rd level in the "Country Assessment Tool" prepared by the World Health Organization (WHO). Due to the regulation in margarine and spread oils, where the presence of trans fatty acids is more likely, the amount of trans fatty acids (except for trans fatty acids that occur naturally in animal fats and oils) is limited to a maximum of 2 percent of the total fat content of the product. The World Health Organization has developed the "Country Assessment Tool" to monitor and monitor all of these efforts to reduce or eliminate trans-fatty acids in food products. In the tool, for the current year, 141 states are grouped into 4 levels according to the type of measures they have taken to eliminate trans fatty acids. The fourth level includes countries with the best practices in reducing (or eliminating) trans fatty acids, and the third level includes countries with fewer measures than best practices.
