  • Is rapeseed a good crop?
  • Oilseeds are crop plants whose edible oil is suitable for human consumption. After soybean, rapeseed is the second most cultivated crop, surpassing peanut, sunflower and cottonseed . These seeds possess advantages such as easy cultivation, good environmental sustainability and rich nutritional qualities .
  • Where is rapeseed cultivated?
  • Rapeseed is cultivated the most in Germany and France, followed by Russia, Pakistan, Canada, Australia, China and India [6, 7]. Rapeseed meal is the biomass that remains after oil extraction. The oil can be extracted by two traditional methods: by using a solvent or a mechanical press (hot or cold pressing) .
  • Is rapeseed a waste product?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Rapeseeds (Brassica napus), cultivated widely as a source of oil, generate substantial by-products after oil extraction. Unfortunately, rapeseed meal is considered a waste product and as such is discharged into environment as compost or used as animal feed.
  • Is rapeseed meal a nutritional feature after oil extraction?
  • Rapeseeds are grains used primarily for oil production. The extraction process generates large amounts of rapeseed meal, which is currently under-used. The results of this study highlight the nutritional features of rapeseeds and meal after oil extraction.
  • Which process is best suited for refining crude soybean or rapeseed oil?
  • The so-called Long Mix process is best suited for refining crude soybean or rapeseed oil. It features extended contact time in special retention mixers. Disc stack centrifuges are used to separate the soapstock and wash water from the refined oil, in one single washing stage.
  • Why is rapeseed a sustainable resource?
  • The increased popularity of the sustainability concept has led industrial production to develop new strategies for the efficient use of all resources without creating waste. Rapeseeds are grains used primarily for oil production. The extraction process generates large amounts of rapeseed meal, which is currently under-used.
