Oilseeds: Health Attributes and Food Applications

Abstract

Canola (Brassica napus), previously known as rapeseed, is one of the most commonly grown oil seeds. Its oil is commonly known for higher amount of monounsaturated fatty acids, moderate amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and substantial content of tocopherols, phytosterols, and omega-3 fatty acids. Native rapeseed used to contain higher concentration of toxic erucic acid (22–60%) and glucosinolates (80 μmol/g), which had adverse effect on nutrient’s bioavailability and growth performance of the animals. Consequently, canola, a cross-bred of rapeseed cultivar, was developed having <2% erucic acid in oil and <30 μmol glucosinolates per gram of rapeseed meal. Canola oil is probably the only edible vegetable oil by today’s standards which is nutritionally well-balanced among all other vegetable oils. Canola oil has been reported to prevent the risks of heart diseases, type II diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, etc. Apart from the cooking oil, canola oil is also used in the preparation of salad oils, salad dressings, margarines and organogels. On the other hand, defatted canola meal offers the possibility to be used as an emulsifier, gelling agents, absorbent, stabilizer, thicker, oleogelator, texturizer, etc. in a variety of food products. However, long-term human studies are required to claim the health benefits of canola protein.
