  • Can rapeseed oil be used as a renewable source of biodiesel?
  • Besides, rapeseed oil has gained interest to be used as a renewable source of biodiesel using the rapeseed oil methyl ester, which amounts to 70% of the total rapeseed oil production in the European Union in 2014/2015 ( USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, 2016 ).
  • Which African country has a biorefinery based on vegetable oil?
  • Kenya is the first African country in which we have built an oilseed pressing plant for the extraction of vegetable oil for the production of biofuel. Located in Wote, Makueni County, the centre, also known as an agri-hub, has a capacity of 15,000 tons per year and, since 2022, has been supplying the Eni biorefinery in Gela.
  • Does refining rapeseed oil protect against oxidation?
  • The refining process removes the undesirable components, which extends the shelf life of refined rapeseed oil. However, the high level of bioactive compounds in the CPRO could protect the oil against oxidation. McDowell et al. (2017a) showed the CPRO was more stable under heat stress than refined rapeseed oil.
  • What is rapeseed oil used for?
  • F.D. Gunstone (Ed.), Rapeseed and canola oil. Production, processing, properties and uses, Blackwell Publishing, Oxford ( 2004), pp. 37 - 78 Remmele, E., & Widmann, B. (2002, June). Purification of cold pressed rapeseed oil to use as a fuel for adapted diesel engines.
  • 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.
  • Is rapeseed oil a prooxidant?
  • Chlorophyll acts as an antioxidant in the dark condition. However, chlorophyll is a powerful prooxidant, which will cause photo-oxidation when exposed to the light. Rapeseed oil is unique in terms of the high chlorophyll content compared with other vegetable oils.
