Crude Degummed Rapeseed Oil - Grade A Light Yellow Color With Low Erucic Acid Content | Edible Vegetable Extract For Cooking Odorless Seed-sourced

We are exporting distributing and supplying Crude Degummed Rapeseed Oils in Frankenberg Sachsen Germany. Natural rapeseed oil contains erucic acid which is mildly toxic to humans in large doses but is used as a food additive in smaller doses. Canola is one of many selected cultivars of rapeseed bred to have a low erucic acid content. Canola was developed in Canada and its name is a contraction of "Canadian oil low acid". The name was also chosen partly for marketing reasons so successfully that the name is sometimes misapplied to other cultivars of rapeseed.

Processing of rapeseed for oil production provides rapeseed animal meal as a by-product. The by-product is a high-protein animal feed competitive with soya. The feed is mostly employed for cattle feeding but also for pigs and chickens (though less valuable for these). The meal has a very low content of the glucosinolates responsible for metabolism disruption in cattle and pigs.
