Description :
Rapeseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. It is light in color and has a mild, neutral taste. Rapeseed oil is commonly used for cooking, food processing, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
Rapeseed oil and canola oil come from the same plant family. Canola oil is a specially developed form of rapeseed oil with lower levels of certain compounds, making it suitable for wider food use.
Rapeseed oil is widely used for frying, baking, roasting, and general cooking. Its high smoke point makes it suitable for high-temperature cooking methods. The mild flavor allows it to blend well with different types of food without changing taste.
It is commonly used in packaged foods, salad dressings, margarine, and cooking oils. In food formulations, it is often used alongside Sunflower Oil and Soybean Oil.
Rapeseed oil contains a high level of unsaturated fats and a low level of saturated fats. Because of this balance, it is often used in everyday cooking and food products.
Compared to Olive Oil, rapeseed oil has a lighter taste and is more suitable for high-heat cooking, while olive oil is preferred for flavor-rich dishes.
Rapeseed oil is also used in personal care and cosmetic products such as soaps, creams, lotions, and hair care formulations. It helps soften the skin and improves moisture retention.
In cosmetic formulations, it is commonly combined with Glycerin and Vitamin E to improve skin feel and product stability.
