Abstract
Rapeseed is one of the major world oilseed crops. It contains 18–24% protein, which results in a meal containing 32–40% protein after oil extraction. The meal protein has a well-balanced amino acid composition (Ohlson and Anjou 1979; Sarwar et al. 1984). It is thus a potential source of food protein. In the past, the high glucosinolate content of the meal has severely limited its use in animal feed. Even today, some of the meal is used as a fertilizer by the largest rapeseed-producing country, China. Meal from recently developed varieties that are low in glucosinolates are widely used in animal feed in Canada and Europe, but still with some limitations because of the presence of glucosinolates, phytate, phenolics, and hull. These limitations make it impossible to consider the meal as a source of protein for human consumption.
