  • What is rapeseed (canola) oil?
  • Rapeseed (canola) oil Rapeseed (canola) oil is the third vegetable oil produced worldwide after palm oil and soybean oil. It is mainly derived from the genetically modified seeds of Brassica napus L., but a small proportion of extracted rapeseed oil is also derived from Brassica rapa L.
  • Why is rapeseed and canola important for biofuel production?
  • The progressive diversification of energy sources, including the development of the biofuel market, means that we are seeing a continuous increase in the cultivation of rapeseed and canola (for oil, for biofuel, as valuable protein feed), which is also an important part of crop rotation that improves soil structure.
  • Is rapeseed the same as canola?
  • The answer is: “sort of.” Rapeseed and canola come from the same plant species, Brassica napus, a member of the Brassicaceae family, the same group that includes mustard, cabbage, broccoli, and horseradish. While they share genetic origins, their oil composition and usage differ significantly.
  • Should rapeseed oil be replaced with high-oleic rapes seed oil?
  • The replacement of hydrogenated rapeseed oil, which is rich in trans fats, with high-oleic rapeseed oil is an important strategy from the point of view of consumer needs (Ghazani and Marangoni 2016). Today, rapeseed (canola) oil is considered one of the healthiest edible vegetable oils.
  • Is rapeseed a good oil?
  • Rapeseed seeds are characterized by highly nutritious fat content and supreme fat/dry basis ratio. Rapeseed with wild mustard ranks second in oilseed cultivation after soybeans, while in oil production ranks third after palm oil and soybean oil. The oil is widely produced globally, with China, Canada, and India being the leading producers.
  • Can rapeseed oil be used for oleogelation?
  • An interesting use of rapeseed oil for oleogelation was a study where two types of high molecular weight oleogelators were used, i.e., plant-derived proteins and polysaccharides (xanthan gum). Mohanan et al. using the foam method obtained oleogels by adding canola oil to freeze-dried foams.
