TLDR
The three major oilseed crops are rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower as mentioned in this paper, and the composition, and therefore properties of these oils, and the various uses which they are put to in the culinary and industrial sectors.Abstract:
Global demand for fats and oils is high and continually rising on a yearly basis. Oilseeds provide a substantial contribution toward this need, feeding into both culinary and industrial markets. The three major oilseed crops are rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower. Linseed oil is also included as, although low in productivity compared to other crops, it has interesting properties and commercial uses. This article discusses the composition, and therefore properties of these oils, and the various uses which they are put to in the culinary and industrial sectors. In addition, information is given regarding the global and regional production of each crop.read more

Using lipidomics to reveal details of lipid accumulation in developing seeds from oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)
Helen Woodfield,Amaury Cazenave-Gassiot,Richard P. Haslam,Irina A. Guschina,Markus R. Wenk,John L. Harwood +5 more
TL;DR: A detailed lipidomic analysis of developing seeds revealed quite distinct patterns and showed where metabolic connections were important in the molecular species distribution and suggested that DGAT may hold a more important role in influencing the molecular composition of TAG.

Changes in Quinoa Seed Fatty Acid Profile Under Heat Stress Field Conditions
Javier Matías,María José Rodriguez,Sara Granado-Rodríguez,Verónica Cruz,Patricia Calvo,María Reguera +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the effect of elevated temperatures on the oil composition of different quinoa cultivars grown in the field in two consecutive years (i.e., 2017 and 2018).

Preparation and characterization of nanoencapsulated synthetic soybean oil derivative-an abundant and environmentally friendly phase change material-heat transfer analysis and applications
Jorge Bergamo,Ezequiel Rossi,Ezequiel Rossi,Juan Martín Maffi,Juan Martín Maffi,Laura De Angelis,María Inés Errea +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a soybean oil derivative, which comes from one of the most abundant crops on Earth, is proposed as phase change material (PCM), and a heat transfer model was developed to compare the performance of the proposed PCM, under the same boundary and initial conditions, with other materials reported in literature that have well-known disadvantages in terms of flammability, renewability, abundance and environmental care.

Journal ArticleDOI
Alpha-linolenic acid and its conversion to longer chain n-3 fatty acids: benefits for human health and a role in maintaining tissue n-3 fatty acid levels.
TL;DR: It is proposed, based upon previous work and that of others, that ALA is elongated and desaturated in a tissue-dependent manner and its dietary inclusion is critical for maintaining tissue long chain n-3 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Problems with essential fatty acids: time for a new paradigm?
TL;DR: The term 'essential fatty acid' is ambiguous and inappropriately inclusive or exclusive of many polyunsaturated fatty acids, and naming the individual fatty acid(s) in question would improve clarity and promote broader exploration of the functional and health attributes of polyunsaturates.

Historical perspectives on the impact of n-3 and n-6 nutrients on health
TL;DR: Evidence that public health may benefit from advice to eat less n-6 nutrients, more n-3 nutrients and fewer calories per meal is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic engineering of microorganisms to produce omega-3 very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
TL;DR: The number of oleaginous microorganisms that can be genetically transformed is increasing, which will advance engineering efforts to maximize LC-PUFA yields in microbial strains, and evidence has suggested that genetic manipulation of one acyltransferase alone could significantly increase the accumulation of LC- PUFAs.

Chemical and physical properties of a sunflower oil with high levels of oleic and palmitic acids
TL;DR: The thermal properties of the HOHPSO (determined from the differential scanning calorimetry thermograms) were different from those of the palm olein this article, and it showed enhanced thermal stability, producing half the amount of total polar compounds, and much less TAG polymers, as the palm oil.
