  • How is canola seed processed?
  • The process for turning canola seed into oil and meal is similar to how other oilseeds are processed. Seed is preconditioned and pressed to separate the oil from the solids. Further refining and processing create finished canola products, ready for the market or further processing. Most Canadian companies use the same method to process canola seed.
  • Where does canola seed come from?
  • Canola seed comes from pods of canola plants and are crushed to produce oil and meal. Each seed contains about 45 percent oil. Canola oil is the third most consumed oil in the world and number two by volume in the United States. But it is number one in health everywhere due to its idyllic fat profile predominant in unsaturated fats.
  • How is Canadian canola processed?
  • A small proportion of Canadian canola is processed without solvent extraction and in some cases also without the use of heat. In this process, canola seed is pressed a second time to extract oil without using solvents. Up to that point, the preconditioning process may be the same as for traditional processing.
  • What is the commercial processing of canola and rapeseed?
  • Unger EH (1990) Commercial processing of canola and rapeseed: crushing and oil extraction. In Canola and Rapeseed, Springer, p 235¨C249 Uquiche E, Romero V, Ortiz J, Del Valle J (2012) Extraction of oil and minor lipids from cold-press rapeseed cake with supercritical CO2.
  • How is canola extracted?
  • Canola is heated and flaked before extraction so more oil can be released. The temperature is slightly raised in grain dryers to prevent shattering. The seed is then passed through rollers to gently rupture the cell walls and flake the seed to just the right thickness. Next the flakes go through a series of heating drums or stack-type cookers.
  • Does Canada export canola seed?
  • About half of Canada¡¯s canola seed is exported, and the other half is processed in Canada (Table 1). Most countries that import canola seed mainly do so for the oil, which is the most valuable component. The seed is processed, and the resulting canola meal is used for the animal feed industry in these countries.
