Classic, as well as high oleic rapeseed oil, consist of long chains of unsaturated fatty acids. The oleic fatty acid (C 18:1) is the main content for both oils at 60% in classic and 80% in the high oleic variant. The classic rapeseed oil contains 10% omega 3 (C 18:3) fatty acid and is considered to contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol concentrations.

High oleic rapeseed oil has a lower content of 3.5% omega 3 (C 18:3) fatty acid and is more oxidatively stable. It is well suited as a frying oil.

Applications

Applications

Both rapeseed oils are highly unsaturated and liquid at room temperature. It makes them specifically suited for mayonnaise, mayonnaise-based sauces, and dressings. The heat resistance of the high oleic oil provides a longer life cycle with excellent performance in frying solutions. When blended with tropical oils, the rapeseed oil are well equipped to be used in margarine or hazelnut spreads.
