TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy revealed the pattern and extent of seed coat rupture from hand-cracking and from micronized to be similar, but micronization-mediated changes to the internal structures were evident in ground...
Abstract: The effect of micronization of full-fat canola seed on dry matter disappearance (DMD) and total nitrogen disappearance (TND) in the rumen and intestine were investigated. Full-fat canola seed was l...

TL;DR: In this paper, the metabolizable energy content of rapeseed oils and rapeseed oil foots and the effect on energy utilization of blending these oils with tallow and mixtures of saturated fatty acids was investigated.

TL;DR: Canola oil is used to identify oil obtained from low erucic acid, low glucosinolate rapeseed and low low-garmineral acid rapeseed.
Abstract: Canola oil is used to identify oil obtained from low erucic acid, low glucosinolate rapeseed. Canola oil is Canada’s major vegetable oil. In 1988, canola accounted for 83% of the salad/cooking oil, and 42% and 57% of the vegetable oil used for margarine and shortenings, respectively, in Canada (Statistics Canada 1988). A total of 87 million kilograms of Canadian canola oil was exported (Statistics Canada 1988). To ensure continued and expanded product utilization, canola oil quality and stability are of utmost concern to both processors and users.

TL;DR: The genetic diversity and relationships among 63 rapeseed accessions including 34 Chinese, 22 Czech, 2 Swedish, 2 German, one French and 2 Canadian accessions were evaluated by nine agronomically important characters in the field at Yangling, Shaanxi, China.
Abstract: The genetic diversity and relationships among 63 rapeseed accessions, including 34 Chinese, 22 Czech, 2 Swedish, 2 German, one French and 2 Canadian accessions, were evaluated by nine agronomically important characters in the field at Yangling, Shaanxi, China. Significant differences between Chinese and European group in plant height, setting position of the first primary branch, number of siliques of the terminal raceme, thousand seed weight and seed yield per plant were detected. There were significant variations in nine agronomic characters among the tested rapeseed accessions. Ward’s minimum variance cluster analysis based on Mahalanobis distances on the raw data of nine agronomic characters clearly separated the European accessions from the Chinese ones. However, the Chinese accessions with erucic acid free and/or low glucosinolates could not be separated from those Chinese accessions with both high erucic acid and glucosinolates. In general, cluster analysis of the 63 accessions based on the selected agronomic characters was consistent with known pedigree information and geographic origin, as well as the previous RAPD results of these accessions. The European rapeseed could be important germplasm resources for enriching the genetic background of Chinese rapeseed, and vice versa.
