Technical aspects
Rapeseed Oil is a yellow liquid with neutral taste and odor. It is obtained by heating the seeds slightly and then crushing them. The crude Rapeseed Oil is further refined to improve color, flavor and shelf life.
During refining, Rapeseed Oil can be heated to 204°C, where it begins to burn due to the high temperature. The unsaturated fatty acids in Rapeseed Oil are important for the body’s function. In addition, refined oil is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K.

Application
Rapeseed Oil is mainly used in the food industry, where its neutral taste serves to increase the moisture content of baked goods without altering their taste. It also contains essential fatty acids and remains liquid even at low temperatures. Rapeseed Oil is used for frying, cooking or baking, as an additive to salads, marinades, sauces or cocktails.
In the cosmetics industry, Rapeseed Oil is an emollient. In skin and hair care preparations, it forms a film on the surface of the skin and hair that prevents excessive evaporation of water from the surface, which has a positive effect on the condition of the skin and hair. It can also be an ingredient in hypoallergenic products, as it is a mild ingredient that can also be used in cosmetic products for sensitive skin.
In the pharmaceutical industry, Rapeseed Oil is an ingredient in dermatological ointments for skin inflammation, as it helps reduce inflammation due to its proper ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also a filler in soft gelatin capsules.
Rapeseed Oil is widely used as diesel fuel and biodiesel. Due to its good performance at low temperatures, its stability at high temperatures and its ability to prevent foaming, it is also used in the production of biodegradable oils and lubricants, as a base for paints and varnishes or for plasticizers, surfactants and pesticides.
