NON-GMO RAPESEED OIL

Rapeseed oil is one of the oldest known vegetable oils. There are both edible and industrial forms produced from the seed of several cultivars of the plant family Brassicaceae. Historically, it was used in limited quantities due to high levels of erucic acid, which is damaging to cardiac muscle of animals, and glucosinolates, which made it less nutritious in animal feed. Rapeseed oil can contain up to 54% erucic acid. Food-grade canola oil derived from rapeseed cultivars, also known as rapeseed 00 oil, low erucic acid rapeseed oil, LEAR oil, and rapeseed canola-equivalent oil, has been generally recognized as safe around the world for both Food and Drug Administration. Canola oil is limited by government regulation to a maximum of 2% erucic acid by weight, the extraction of the oil is an important industry. In commerce, the traditional rapeseed oils are colza oil, turnip rape oil, Sarson oil, toria oil (Brassica rapa ssp.), and ravison oil, which are very closely allied in both source and properties.

Non-GMO rapeseed oil (crude) is produced by warm-pressing of Non-GMO 00-Rapeseed (0% erucic-acid and glycocides). The Oil is extracted without usage of hexane or other chemical-solvents. It is also possible to offer a degummed quality. In this case the crude oil is degummed in an additional production step.
