CANOLA OIL Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Chemische Eigenschaften
Yellow-brown liquid.
Definition
The oil obtained from rapeseed.
Vorbereitung Methode
Canola oil is obtained by mechanical expression or n-hexane
extraction from the seeds of Brassica napus (Brassica campestris)
var. oleifera and certain other species of Brassica (Cruciferae). The
crude oil thus obtained is refined, bleached, and deodorized to
substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and
flavor components, and miscellaneous nonoil materials.
Pharmazeutische Anwendungen
Canola oil is a refined rapeseed oil obtained from particular species
of rapeseed that have been genetically selected for their low erucic
acid content. In pharmaceutical formulations, canola oil is used
mainly in topical preparations such as soft soaps and liniments. It is
also used in cosmetics.
Sicherheit(Safety)
Canola oil is generally regarded as an essentially nontoxic and
nonirritant material, and has been accepted by the FDA for use in
cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals.
Rapeseed oil has been used for a number of years in food
applications as a cheap alternative to olive oil. However, there are
large amounts of erucic acid and glucosinolates in conventional
rapeseed oil, both substances being toxic to humans and animals.
Canola oil derived from genetically selected rapeseed plants that are
low in erucic acid content has been developed to overcome this
problem. The FDA specifies 165.55 mg as the maximum amount for
each route or dosage form containing the ingredient.
Feeding studies in rats have suggested that canola oil is nontoxic
to the heart, although it has also been suggested that the
toxicological data may be unclear.
Regulatory Status
Accepted for use by the FDA in cosmetics and foods. Included in the
FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral capsules). Included in the
Canadian List of Acceptable Non-medicinal Ingredients.
