Organic Canola Seed
Canola seed grown under organic production conditions; an important oilseed notable for its high oil content and valuable oil profile, used above all in vegetable oil production as well as in feed and various industrial applications.
General Information
Organic Canola Seed is an oilseed grown in accordance with organic production standards and assessed especially for vegetable oil production. The seed’s oil content, moisture, foreign matter and other physical quality characteristics are important in assessing processing efficiency and the quality of the resulting product.
Depending on the intended use and the processing plant’s process, canola seed can be processed by mechanical pressing. The canola oil obtained is used in food and various industrial applications, while the resulting canola meal can be used as a protein source, especially in the animal feed sector.
Uses
Organic Canola Seed can be used in various processing applications, above all in the oil industry.
Main uses:
- In organic canola oil production
- In mechanical pressing and oil extraction processes
- In the production of vegetable oil for food
- As a raw material in oilseed processing plants
- In canola meal production
- In processes that produce both oil and meal
The product’s suitability for processing should be assessed according to oil content, moisture, foreign matter, seed characteristics and the buyer’s technical product specifications.
