  • What is rapeseed oil?
  • Rapeseed is obtained from several species of the genus Brassica (Cruciferae family). Conventional rapeseed yields about 40% of its weight oil which is rich in MUFA and the ?-3ALA (alpha Linolenic acid) (Sabikhi and MHS, 2012). Traditional rapeseed oil contains a high-erucic acid (¡« 50%) (C22:1).
  • When was rapeseed first planted?
  • Large-scale planting of rapeseed was first reported in Europe in the thirteenth century (Przybylski et al., 2005). Rapeseed is obtained from several species of the genus Brassica (Cruciferae family). Conventional rapeseed yields about 40% of its weight oil which is rich in MUFA and the ?-3ALA (alpha Linolenic acid) (Sabikhi and MHS, 2012).
  • What is the growth rate of oil refining in Egypt?
  • The growth rate of oil refining in Egypt was 25% in FY 2019/2020, the highest rate achieved amongst economic sectors in Egypt, besting wholesale and retail trade, construction, and communication.
  • Does rapeseed oil contain erucic acid?
  • Traditional rapeseed oil contains a high-erucic acid (¡« 50%) (C22:1). The high levels of erucic acid cause accumulation of fatty acids in the heart and skeletal muscles as well as delaying in growth. New varieties were bred in 1974 with oleic acid replacing erucic acid and were referred to as canola in the USA and Canada (Przybylski et al., 2005).
  • When does Egypt aim to achieve self-sufficiency in petroleum products?
  • Egypt hopes to achieve self-sufficiency in petroleum products by 2022. The Egyptian government encourages international oil companies (IOC) to participate in the oil and gas sector. More than fifty IOCs are currently operating in the country at present.
  • Can Egypt produce sunflower oil self-sufficiency?
  • Sunflower crop was introduced in Egypt in 1987, and the oil content of its seed ranges between 39 and 46% (The Arab league for Nutrition Industries, 2007). The Minister of Supply and Internal Trade indicates that Egypt will accomplish sunflower oil creation self-sufficiency by nurturing lands and refining edible oils in bordering Sudan.
