Abstract

During the past two decades, canola oil, a modified rapeseed oil, has become one of the main commodity oils around the world.

In this chapter, the following aspects of canola/rapeseed oil are discussed: origin, detailed composition, physical properties, extraction, refining, processing, food utilization, nutritional properties, production of seeds and oils, canola/rapeseed as biodiesel, greases, and machine oils.
