Canola Disease Testing Program
SaskOilseeds works alongside Saskatchewan Agriculture & Discovery Seed Labs to provide free canola disease testing for farmers across the province. Plant stems are tested for Verticillium Stripe and Blackleg (plus identifying the race of Blackleg). Soil samples are tested for Clubroot.
Culinary Oil Smoke Point Chart
Canola is a stable oil that does not break down at high temperatures, ideal for sautéing, stir frying, deep frying and other high heat culinary needs. Its smoke point, the temperature at which it begins to smoke and degrade, is one of the highest of all cooking oils at 242°C/468°F. High-oleic canola oil is even more stable, with a smoke point of 246°C/475°F – higher than almost all other food oils.
Comparison of Dietary Fats Chart
Dietary fat, in moderation, is needed to provide energy and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Increasingly, it has become apparent that the type of fat in the diet is important. Certain fats such as omega-3 and omega-6 fats are essential for good nutrition and must be consumed as part of a healthy diet.
Although different types of oil have the same number of calories per tablespoon, canola oil provides more of the healthy fats than any other common cooking and salad oil.
Canola Oil Processing
The process for turning canola seed into oil and meal is similar to how other oilseeds are processed. Seed is preconditioned and pressed to separate the oil from the solids. Further refining and processing create finished canola products, ready for the market or further processing.
Canola Oil Research Directory
This directory provides links to nutritional research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals since canola was developed over several decades ago. All are human studies, with the exception of those related to cancer conditions. For these conditions, cell culture and animal studies were included because human cancer study data is limited to date.
