Do you use Canola Oil? Is it a safe oil to use?

Low erucic acid rapeseed oil

In response to the potential safety concerns associated with high levels of erucic acid in rapeseed, efforts have been made to produce cultivars with a low erucic acid trait.

Nowadays, rapeseed oils with low levels of erucic acid, including rape oil, colza oil and canola oil, are commercially available. They are produced from low erucic acid oil-bearing seeds of cultivated varieties derived from the Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L. and Brassica juncea L. species. According to Codex, these oils contain erucic acid level less than 2% of the total fatty acids.

Canola oil The term “Canola” was derived from “Canadian oil, low acid”. It was developed through conventional cross breeding of the rapeseed plant (flowers are yellow with four petals) with unwanted traits removed.   Once registered as a trademark in Canada in 1970s, canola has now been recognised and used internationally as a generic term for edible varieties of rapeseed with erucic acid less than 2% in the oil.

In fact, low erucic acid rapeseed oils contain low level of saturated fatty acids and has high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids.  They can be considered as one of the healthier oils in our diet.
