Diversification of canola-rapeseed fatty acid supply to the year 2000.
Possibilities for improvement of swede rape offered by biotechnological and genetic engineering techniques are examined, including the possibility of attaining erucic acid contents above the theoretical limit of 66 percent (perhaps more than 70 percent by the year 2000) and of increasing stearic and palmitic acid contents to 25-30 percent. The first rapes with high lauric acid [dodecanoic acid] content (40 percent) were produced in the USA in 1995, and some with low linolenic acid content were produced by mutagenesis.
