High oleic acid canola oil is another development pursued in Canada, the United States, Sweden, Australia, and elsewhere (137). As with low linolenic acid canola oil, the aim was to produce stable frying oil, which will not need hydrogenation and thus avoid fraui-isomers formation. The oleic acid content in oil from seed developed in Canada is at about 78%, whereas linoleic and linoleic acids are lowered to approximately 8% and 3% respectively (see Table 2). Saturated fatty acid content is unchanged from the standard canola oil. There is limited commercial seed production for export to Japan. Also, there is increasing acceptance of the oil in Canada and the United States. The frying performance in tests was found to be similar to...

Oleic acid was increased to 48% of total milk fatty acids by feeding oleamide as a rumen-protected source of oleic acid (Jenkins, 1998). The response was nearly linear up to 5% of supplement in the diet dry matter. Proportions of all de uovo-synthesized milk fatty acids, except butyric, were reduced (Jenkins, 1999). LaCount et al. (1994) abomasally infused fatty acids from canola or high oleic acid sunflower oil into lactating cows. The transfer of oleic acid to milk fat was linear (slope = 0.541 0 350 g infused/ day) the proportion of oleic acid in milk fat increased and proportions of all de novo-synthesized fatty acids, except C4 and C6 decreased. The proportion of Ci8 o also was unchanged. Linoleic acid from canola also was transferred linearly (slope = 0.527 0-90 g infused/day). These transfers from the intestine are nearly identical to that reported by Banks et al. (1976). Hagemeister et al. (1991) reported 42 to 57% transfer of abomasally-infused linolenic acid to milk fat. 

High oleic acid canola varieties were introduced recently to directly compete in applications formerly using olive oil. 

Recently, novel dietary oils with modified fatty acid profiles have been manufactured to improve fatty acid intakes and reduce CVD risk. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of novel high-oleic rapeseed (canola) oil (HOCO), alone or blended with flaxseed oil (FXCO), on circulating lipids and inflammatory biomarkers v. a typical Western diet (WD). Using a randomized, controlled, crossover trial, thirty-six hypercholesterolaemic subjects consumed three isoenergetic diets for 28 d each containing approximately 36% energy from fat, of which 70% was provided by HOCO, FXCO or WD. Dietary fat content of SFA, MUFA, PUFA n-6 and n-3 was 6, 23, 5,...

Two additional low-linolenic acid double-low rapeseed (canola) cultivars with incremental improvements in agronomic performance, Apollo (Scarth et al. 1995) and Allons (Scarth et al. 1997), were developed and released by the University of Manitoba. There was limited commercial production of these low-linolenic acid, double-low rapeseed (canola) cultivars in Canada. More recently, high-stability oil double-low rapeseed (canola) cultivars that have low linolenic acid concentrations (<3%) and high oleic acid concentrations (>70%) have been developed. These new high-oleic acid, low-linolenic acid, high-stability oil, double-low rapeseed (canola) cultivars have competitive seed yields and are commercially successful (Canola Council of Canada 2008). 

The magnitude of the variation in the composition of rapeseed oil and meal now commercially available has created a need for new terms to describe the products derived from rapeseed. The fatty acid composition of most edible vegetable oils such as soybean, sunflower, or cottonseed oils, varies within narrow limits. Thus, the species or commodity name (e.g., soybean oil) provides a reasonable description of the fatty add composition of soybean oil. In contrast, the erucic acid content of commercially available rapeseed oil may vary from near zero to 55%, and the oleic acid from 10 to more than 60%. A number of terms have been proposed or utilized to describe the new rapeseed oil whose fatty acid composition has been altered by the elimination of erucic acid these include low erucic acid rape-seed oil (LEAR), canbra, and canola. Similar terms such as high erucic acid rapeseed oil (HEAR) and common or traditional rapeseed oil have been used to describe rapeseed oil whose fatty acid composition includes substantial amounts of erucic acid. 

Epoxidised canola oil and sunflower oil with a high oleic acid content (74% and 86%, respectively), canola oil with standard oleic acid content (64%) and soybean oil with low oleic acid content (22%), are blended with a commercial epoxy resin and used as the matrix in the preparation of composites which use E-glass as the structural fibre. The resultant products showed that the level of unsaturation and the amount of bio-based epoxy resin in the matrix directly affect the mechanical properties of anhydride-cured composites.
