• Is rapeseed a good vegetable oil?
  • Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the world’s second produced oilseed and accounts for nearly 12% of world major vegetable oil production. For the last 10 years, the production, planting area, and yield of rapeseed have been stable, with improvement of seed quality and especially seed oil content.
  • Does Mongolia produce vegetable oil?
  • Mongolia has two factories that produce vegetable oil. One of them, factor of Mindtech LLC, is capable of extracting 100 tons of raw vegetable oil per day or 30 thousand tons per year and the other factory of Mongol Altan Tos LLC has a daily capacity of 100 tons of refined vegetable oil or a yearly capacity of 30 thousand tons.
  • What is rapeseed oil refining process?
  • Towards this, the crude rapeseed oil needs refining treatments to remove undesirable ingredients and produce higher quality oils [ 5 ¨C 7 ]. Traditional rapeseed oil refining processes generally involve four successive operations: neutralization, degumming, bleaching and deodorization.
  • Are there competing interests in rapeseed oil?
  • Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. Rapeseed oil is a major source of vegetable oil in the world. Its production is estimated at 27.71 million metric tons, the third just behind palm and soybean oil, supporting the 2018 official data of United States Department of Agriculture.
  • Does rapeseed oil differ after refining?
  • Differences were considered statistically significant at P< 0.05. The AV, PV, p -AV of the rapeseed oil in varieties after each refining process are shown in Fig 1. The AV of five different kinds of crude rapeseed oils were from 2.15 to 3.59 mg KOH/g and decreased significantly after neutralization, ranging from 0.29 to 0.45 mg KOH/g.
  • Does rapeseed oil have physicochemical properties and oxidative stability?
  • Although many researchers have investigated the physicochemical properties of rapeseed oil, there is still a lack of information on the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability as it relates to different rapeseed varieties during refining process.
