Dr. Gretel BESCOBY

Technical Manager of FOSFA International, Committee Manager of ISO/TC34/SC11

Gretel Henriett BESCOBY：在油脂領域擁有豐富經驗，在南非接受過食品科學家培訓。在獲得生物化學榮譽學位后，她獲得了食品科學博士學位，研究預測單不飽和油和多不飽和油的保質期。最初在漁業研究所工作，研究魚油和魚粉，主要關注油的穩定性、抗氧化劑的質量和功效。隨后在科學與工業研究委員會（CSIR）管理油脂實驗室，開展食品行業的研究和常規分析。曾在南非的油炸行業擔任油脂公司的顧問，改進了油脂加工程序，提高油脂質量和穩定性。后來她搬到英國并加入海洋原料組織（IFFO），承擔多種角色，包括提供信息、監管行業發展更新，以及從事魚粉穩定性試驗來研究該行業的替代抗氧化劑。

在IFFO工作期間，她與國際海洋組織（IMO）、歐盟植物、動物、食品和飼料常設委員會（SCoPAFF）、歐洲飼料制造商聯合會（FEFAC）和國際食品法典動植物油脂委員會（CCFO）有廣泛的往來。在此期間，她與業界密切合作，幫助制定魚油法典標準。2018年2月，她加入國際油料和油脂協會（FOSFA International），任技術經理和國際標準化組織動植物油脂分委員會（ISO/TC34/SC11）經理，其中部分職責是策劃管理分析師和總監，運行年度績效和認證測試，必要時與分析師聯絡并與相關主題的國際組織合作。

她是本專欄文章之二《國際標準化組織動植物油脂國際標準制定》的作者。

Dr. Gretel Henriett BESCOBY,has extensive experience in the oils and fats field and trained as a Food Scientist in South Africa. Following her Honours degree in Biochemistry, she gained a Doctorate in Food Science on the parameters to predict the shelflife of mono- and poly-unsaturated oils. She worked at first for the Fishing Industry Research Institute on fish oil and fishmeal where oil stability, quality and efficacy of antioxidants were predominant topics of interest. She subsequently managed the Fats and Oils laboratory at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), carrying out research as well as routine analysis for the food industry. This was followed by a period working as a consultant for the Fats and Oils industry in South Africa in the frying industry, as well as enhancing fats and oils processing procedures to improve quality and stability of fats and oils.

She relocated to the UK and joined IFFO (The Marine Ingredients Organisation) where her role was varied and included the provision of information, regulatory and industry development updates as well as working on fishmeal stability trials to investigate alternative antioxidants for the industry. While working at IFFO she had extensive dealings with national and international organisations such as the International Marine Organisation (IMO), EU Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF), FEFAC(European Feed Manufacturers' Federation) and CODEX Committee on Fats and Oils (CCFO). During this time she worked closely with the industry to help develop the new CODEX Standard for Fish Oils.She joined FOSFA International as Technical Manager as well as ISO/TC34/SC11 Committee Manager in February 2018 where some of her responsibilities are to manage the Analyst and Superintendent scheme,run the annual performance and accreditation tests, liaise with analysts as necessary and collaborate with international organisations on relevant topics.

She is the author of the paper “Developing ISO International Standards for the Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils Sector” in this special column.
