	Genetically Modified Rapeseed
		Rapeseed is an important food crop, a fact that was made possible through modern plant breeding.
		Gluconsinolates, which were found in rapeseed meal leftover from pressing, are toxic and had prevented the use of the meal in animal feed.
		Rapeseed meal leftover from oil pressing is a valuable, protein-rich animal feed that is often used for raising swine.

	Rapeseed/canola production - COLORADO STATE Extension
		Rapeseed is in the Brassica family and is related to broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
		Spring rapeseed generally is planted in March to April with an anticipated August to September harvest.
		Rapeseed can be direct combined; however, to reduce the risk of shatter, swath the crop when the bottom pods are brown, and the pods at the top of the plant green but well-filled.

	rapeseed biodiesel
		Made from rapeseed oil and methanol, the biodiesel is called Rape Methyl Ester (RME), from canola oil and ethanol, Canola Ethyl Ester (CEE), and from used McDonald’s cooking oil and ethanol or methanol, ("McDiesel").
		Rapeseed, some varieties of which are used to make mustard and others to make canola oil, is the preferred biodiesel feedstock in Europe.
		Depending on the variety, rapeseed oil contains about 40 to 50 percent of its weight in rapeseed is oil, as compared with only 20 percent for soybeans.

	Rapeseed
		Rapeseed, a large winter or spring annual oil crop in the Brassica family, is related to mustard, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and turnip.
		There is often confusion between the use of the terms “canola” and “rapeseed.” Rapeseed is the traditional name for the group of oilseed crops in the Brassicaceae family.

	Ohio's Challenge, Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics
		Rapeseed has gained market share at the expense of soybeans for a variety of different reasons, which include the development of improved Canadian rapeseed varieties, Japan's liberalization of its meat imports, and the availability of low-priced soybean meal on world markets, particularly from China.
		Before 1970, rapeseed oil contained high levels of erucic acid and rapeseed meal had high amounts of glucosinolates, which were shown to be harmful to animals and possibly to humans as well.
		An additional characteristic of the Japanese market that increases the substitutability between rapeseed and soybean imports is the use of rapeseed and soybean oil blends that are not labeled or differentiated with respect to the ratio of soybean oil to rapeseed oil.

	Canola meal
		Some rapeseed is still grown to produce erucic acid (toxic to animals) which has important industrial applications and is also high in glucosinolates, so rapeseed meal is still available in some regions.
		Often rapeseed and canola can be identified visually, because the rapeseed meal is darker in color than the canola meal, which has more of a golden yellow color.
		Currently some rapeseed meal is growth for the production of erucic acid and the resultant meal is referred to as rapeseed meal, which has a much lower feeding value than canola meal.
