How is brassica campestris oleifera oil made?
The production of brassica campestris oleifera oil begins with the collection of rapeseed seeds. These seeds are first cleaned to remove any impurities. They are then pressed to extract the crude oil. However, this crude oil still contains impurities such as phospholipids, free fatty acids and pigments. In order to make the oil suitable for various applications, it is subjected to a refining process. This process usually involves three steps: neutralization, bleaching and deodorization. During neutralization, free fatty acids are removed, while bleaching removes unwanted colorants. Deodorization, the final step, eliminates unpleasant odors and flavors, resulting in an odorless, tasteless and clear oil.
The function of rapeseed oil refined
Refined rapeseed oil has several unique properties that make it a versatile product. First, it contains a high level of monounsaturated fatty acids, making it a healthier choice compared to saturated fats. These fatty acids help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health. Additionally, refined rapeseed oil has a high smoke point, making it suitable for a variety of cooking techniques, such as baking and frying, without the oil breaking down quickly or releasing harmful substances.
In addition, rapeseed oil is an excellent source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential fats that are important for a variety of bodily functions, including brain function and anti-inflammatory. Thanks to the refining process, the oil retains these nutrients while removing impurities, resulting in a high-quality product that is both safe and effective for use in a variety of applications.
