  • Does cold-pressing rapeseed oil have bioactive compounds?
  • The methods of cold-pressing and microwave pre-treatment on the extraction yield and bioactive compounds of rapeseed oil have been reviewed in this paper. Cold-pressed rapeseed oil offers health benefits due to its preserved fatty acid profile and bioactive compounds.
  • What are the health benefits of cold pressed rapeseed oil?
  • High phenolic compounds, tocopherols, phytosterols, and carotenoids contents in the cold-pressed rapeseed oil offer health benefits like regulating blood lipid profile, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control, as well as offer antioxidant and cytotoxic activity.
  • What fatty acids are in cold pressed rapeseed oil?
  • Rapeseed oil is recognized as one of the healthiest vegetable oils due to its unique fatty acid profile, which is rich in MUFA (50%–70%) and PUFA, mainly α-linolenic acid (7%–10%) and linolenic acid (17%–21%), as well as low in saturated fatty acids (5%–7%). Table 1. Fatty acids profile of cold pressed rapeseed oil.
  • Does cold pressed rapeseed oil contain oleic acid?
  • However, stearic acid, eicosenoic acid, erucic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, and palmitoleic acid were exhibited in minor composition in cold pressed rapeseed oil. Oleic acid is associated with low incidence of coronary heart diseases and colon, breast, and skin cancer.
  • Which phenolic compound is found in cold pressed rapeseed oil?
  • Sinapic acid is the most common phenolic compound present in cold pressed rapeseed oil and also its derivatives, which contributes 80% of phenolic compounds in rapeseed. Sinapic acid can exist as glucopyranosyl sinapate, while only a small amount of sinapic acid (less than 16%) is present as a free form.
  • Can cold pressed rapeseed oil be used as functional oil?
  • Cold-pressed rapeseed oil can use as functional oil due to its health benefits. Rapeseed oil is the second most abundant produced edible oil in the world with low erucic acid and low glucosinolate. Thus, the quality of rapeseed oil had attracted global attention.
