Rapeseed and Canola Oil
Production, Processing, Properties and Uses
1. Edition March 2004
240 Pages, Hardcover
Wiley & Sons Ltd
Rapeseed is now the second largest oilseed crop after soybean, and
the third largest vegetable oil after soybean oil and palm oil, and
it is therefore an important contributor to the annual supply of
vegetable oils required to meet an increasing demand.
This volume provides comprehensive coverage of rapeseed oil and
its close relative, canola oil, from production (agronomic)
aspects, through extraction to refining and processing. Chemical
composition, physico-chemical properties, food and non-food uses
are considered in detail, and a chapter is included on future
prospects, including oils available by means of genetic
manipulation.
This is a book for oils and fats chemists and technologists in
the food and oleochemical industries, chemical engineers in the
processing industry, nutritionists and seed technologists.

very valuable update. Most chapters include a very extensive list
of references for in-depth reading. The book should be a 'must' for
those directly involved in growing, processing and using canola and
rapeseed oil as an up-to-date source of information."

Food Trade Review, September 2004
"This is a useful text in describing types, chemical
composition, properties and uses of rapeseed oil for edible and
industrial purposes.
Overall, the quality of publication and the presentation is
excellent. [...] an ideal reference for people within the industry
and a good source for further reading from the abundant level of
references provided."
