Swine were maintained for 6 weeks on practical corn–soy diets containing 10% corn oil (Zea mays) or 10% rapeseed oil (Brassica napus). Tissue lipids were extracted and subjected to fatty acid analysis. Erucic acid deposition was greatest in plasma and adipose tissue lipids, accounting for more than 7% of the total fatty acids. In the spleen, adrenal, erythrocyte, and heart, 22:1 comprised 3–5% of the total acids, whereas in the ovary, liver, kidney, and testis, only 1–3% was found. Eicosenoic acid was present in approximately the same concentration as erucic acid in most tissues. Generally, more oleic and palmitoleic acid and less linoleic acid occurred in the tissues from pigs receiving rapeseed oil. There was no marked influence of dietary fat on tissue polyunsaturated acids.

Rapeseed oil of the Polish, Golden, or Swedish varieties, corn oil, or mixtures of corn oil and ethyl erucate were fed to weanling rats of the Wistar strain for 9 weeks. Weight gains were inversely related to the content of erucic acid in the diet, confirming previous indications that the growth retarding effect of rapeseed oil is due to its erucic acid. In general, the differences in weight gains could be explained by the effect of rapeseed oil on food consumption.Golden rapeseed oil and corn oil were compared in a reproduction study involving three litters of one generation. Although the young of rats fed rapeseed oil were of lesser weanling weight, there was no difference in the number of animals successfully weaned.

The fatty oil of hare's-ear mustard seed (Conringia orientalis L.) was examined. Constants of the oil were determined and a partial separation of the fatty acids was carried out by the methyl ester fractionation method. Palmitic, oleic, linoleic, eicosenoic, erucic, and lignoceric acids were identified. Erucic acid was found to be present in largest amount. The oil resembles rapeseed and other Cruciferae seed oils in this respect. The content of eicosenoic acid is estimated to be not more than 12% of the total fatty acids.

Rats fed corn oil or a mixture of lard and olive oil produced as many offspring as those receiving no fat supplement with a low-fat commercial meal, but the weanling weight was lower. Although rats fed rapeseed oil continued to reproduce they had fewer and smaller offspring than rats fed other diets.The composition of fatty acids in the milk varied with the dietary fat of the mother. Animals receiving the low-fat diet secreted predominantly saturated fatty acids. A high proportion of linoleic acid appeared in the milk when corn oil was fed, and of oleic acid when the mixture of lard and olive oil was fed. Eicosenoic and erucic acids were present in the milk of rats receiving rapeseed oil, but were less prevalent than in the original oil.

The effects of increasing the saturated fatty acids in a dietary vegetable oil composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids were studied in rats. A mixture of palm oil and Swedish rapeseed oil fed for 4 weeks as 20% of a purified diet promoted weight gains which exceeded those obtained with Polish rapeseed oil of a similar content of erucic acid, and altered the proportion of saturated fatty acids in the tissues to reflect that of the diet. When methyl esters of saturated fatty acids were added to Swedish rapeseed oil, similar effects on weight gain were not observed, but methyl esters of fatty acids from corn oil and rapeseed oil were shown to be of less nutritional value than the original glycerides. From fatty acids of olive oil, glycerides containing 3% palmitic acid were prepared, and produced weight gains which did not differ significantly from those of rats fed Polish rapeseed oil with a similar content of palmitic acid and 20% erucic acid. The characteristic effects of rapeseed oil are, therefore, attributed to its low content of saturated fatty acids as well as its high content of erucic acid.

<p>3D gels are polymeric networks, able to absorb solvents. In this work, starch and PVA gels were developed to act removing oil from water. The oil absorbing capacity can be suitable along with their composition through the synthesis process. Starch and PVA gels were grafted with palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eicosenoic acid, erucic acid and nervonic acid, showing ability to absob up to 50% of weight in oil. When dried or swollen, the gels presented a handling resistance, considered important for using and removal of oil in water.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14685/rebrapa.v3i1.81</p>

Abstract Studies were conducted on the effects of the concentration and source of dietary fat on PER values. At the 20% level, degummed rapeseed oil depressed PER of isolated soybean protein or casein, whereas corn oil, lard, or margarine had no effect. In contrast to results with these proteins, 20% rapeseed oil had no effect on PER of fish flour. Covariance analysis and paired feeding studies showed that the effects of rapeseed oil on PER could be explained by its influence in reducing food consumption. The high level of rapeseed oil had no effect on efficiency of nitrogen retention, as measured by net protein utilization. Substitution of 10% rapeseed oil for 10% corn oil in standardized PER assays had no significant effect on PER values of peas, casein, or whole wheat flour. This finding provides assurance that in standardized assays, in which the level of dietary fat is set at 10%, PER values are not influenced by the composition of the dietary fat.

Fatty acids of liver, carcass, and milk of rats fed corn oil, rapeseed oil, partially hydrogenated herring oil, or margarine were examined by gas–liquid chromatography. Appreciable quantities of linoleic acid were maintained in the tissues and milk, even when the hydrogenated herring oil with a low level of linoleic acid was fed. The proportion of C20and C22acids deposited or secreted was related to that of the diet, and was highest with rapeseed oil. In the livers of rats fed each diet, long-chain, polyunsaturated acids were observed. The fatty acids of milk more closely reflected the dietary pattern than did those of the tissues.

Growth rates of chicks and efficiency of feed utilization were similar when the diet contained 4% of either rapeseed oil or corn oil in one experiment and when the diet contained 10% of either rapeseed oil or soybean oil in a second experiment. Gums from high or low erucic acid rapeseed at dietary levels of 4–5% resulted in growth rates and feed efficiency similar to those obtained with the oils. Acidulated soapstock and non-acidulated soapstock from high and low erucic acid rapeseed, fed in comparison with oils, gave favorable results for growth rate. The non-acidulated soapstocks, probably as a result of their 6% mineral content, reduced feed efficiency slightly. There was no mortality attributable to any of the oils or oil fractions.
