FAQ

  • Is rapeseed a bioenergy crop?
  • Brassicaceae family member rapeseed is an important source of protein derived from the plant. It is the most produced oilseed crop after soybean. It is a well-known bioenergy crop and its oil contains crucial fatty acids such as palmitic, erucic, oleic, and eicosenoic acid (Konuskan et al. 2019).
  • What is rape seed oil?
  • During the past two decades canola/mustard/rape seed (Brassica Oil seeds) is increased making it to become one of the important seed for edible oils. Rape seed oil is another soft oil with high erucic acid content. This oil also has phospholipids and chlorophyll which imparts blue and green color to the oil.
  • What are the major oilseed crops in the United States?
  • The major U.S. oilseed crops are soybeans, cottonseed, sunflowerseed, canola, rapeseed, and peanuts. Soybeans are the dominant oilseed in the United States, accounting for about 90 percent of U.S. oilseed production. Most U.S. soybeans are planted in May and early June and harvested in late September and October.
  • What is the global production of oilseed?
  • Considering the data of the last 5 years, it is seen that total production of oilseed reached 606.15 million metric tons (mmt) in June 2020, while 573.75 mmt in 2016/2017. In global distribution of oilseeds, soybean, rapeseed, peanut, cottonseed, and sunflower seed are prominent (Table 20.1).
  • What are the different types of oilseed crops?
  • The most preferred oilseed crops are soybean, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, and castor since they are renewable energy sources and associated with power generation. Sunflower, soybean, and canola crops provide reduction in irrigation as well as in input costs. The oil obtained from the seeds is divided into three major groups.
  • Why is rapeseed cooked or tempered?
  • Oilseeds are cooked or tempered to denature proteins, release oil from the cells and inactivate enzymes. For example, rapeseed contains the enzyme myrosinase. This enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis of glucosinolates which are naturally present in rapeseed.
