2. Table of content How healthy is rapeseed oil ? Rapeseed oil in food Biodiesel and heath

3. Saturated fatty acids 6 % in rapeseed 7-8 % of the daily energy feed charge Not as healthy as unsaturated fatty acids Cannot be used by the body

4. Unsaturated fatty acids 66 % in rapeseed 12-13 % of the daily energy charge Very healthy Used by the body

5. Polyunsaturated fatty acids 27 % in rapeseed 7- 8 % Very healthy –> cannot be synthesized by the body Omega-6 fatty acid and Omega3 fatty acid 2 : 1 rate in a rapeseed

6. Nutrition Different types of oil Use in dishes

7. Types of oil Pressing - central oil mill (hot pressed, more oil) - decentral oil mill (cold pressed, less oil) Extraction

8. Rapeseed oil in food Virgin oil has the best aroma and is the healthiest Fine oil has a neutral taste and has a wide variety of use

9. Cold and warm dishes/cake Virgin oil for cold dishes (like salads or dips) Fine oil for cooking Fine oil for baking (neutral taste and soft fats)

10. Frying and marinating Frying : - Fine oil (heat resistant) Marinating : -Virgin oil (better taste) -Marinating and frying is better with the more heat resistant fine oil

11. Health and biodiesel Cholesterol More clever babies Biodiesel

12. Cholesterol HDL  healthy LDL  unhealthy Rapeseed oil has a higher quality against cholesterol than olive oil; no omega3 fatty acids Native oil drops the LDL level due to the phytosterol in the rapeseed Fish, soy and lecithin drop the LDL level Sport and outdoor activities increase the amount of HDL

13. More clever babies Omega-3 fatty acids Have positive effects on the mental development of newborns Omega-3 fatty acids prevent from heart diseases Are contained in rapeseed oil, walnut oil, salmon, anchovies and other fat sea fish

14. Biodiesel Lower the risk of premature deaths and cancer Environmental friendly cultivation of rape Less asthmatic people due to the decrease of airborne particles with the combusting of biodiesel
