This volume provides comprehensive coverage of rapeseed oil andits close relative, canola oil, from production (agronomic)aspects, through extraction to refining and processing. Chemicalcomposition, physico-chemical properties, food and non-food usesare considered in detail, and a chapter is included on futureprospects, including oils available by means of geneticmanipulation.
