GENERAL INFORMATION
CANOLA OIL – Industrial / Commercial use
In addition to its use in the food industry, canola oil is an effective insecticidal oil and appears to repel
insects by altering the leaf surface and acting as an insect irritant. Furthermore, Canola Oils are used in manufacturing motor oils.
A canola-based motor oil was found to be a feasible alternative to conventional and
synthetic petroleum motor oils. Higher oleic fatty acid content was important to functional properties but due
to current costs, a conventional fatty acid profile was used in the test. Canola-based motor oils were
evaluated in bench trials, small engine trials, and in automotive applications. In general, reductions in oil
consumption, fuel consumption, engine operating temperatures and engine wear were universal in all engine trials.
Physically, the canola motor oil was superior to comparable petroleum oils in five of seven categories. In terms of environmental concerns, the canola-based oil met EPA standards for biodegradability, marine
safety, exhaust emissions, and fuel economy. Cost concerns may limit functional improvements but environmental concerns may overcome some cost constraints with regard to canola oil. Reliable Canola Oil Manufacturer & Supplier - c GMP Certified - FDA Registered - Kosher GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Canola oil is the fixed oil obtained from the seed of the cultivars of Brassica
napus and Brassica campestris which are genetically low in both erucic acid and glucosinolates.
