Abstract
A canola germplasm confers on a canola seed the traits of high protein content and low fiber content, wherein the canola plant produces a seed having, on average, at least 68% oleic acid (C18:1) and less than 3% linolenic acid (C18:3). The canola seed traits may also include at least 45% crude protein and not more than 18% acid detergent fiber content on an oil-free, dry matter basis. In particular embodiments, the canola seed has been dehulled and defatted resulting in a meal product with at least 58% crude protein and less than 10% acid detergent fiber on an oil-free, dry matter basis.
Claims23
A method of producing a canola meal, the method comprising:
- providing a canola seed;
- substantially dehulling the canola seed;
- extracting oil from the canola seed;
- producing, from the dehulled and extracted canola seed, a canola meal comprising, on an oil-free, dry matter basis:
- at least 45% crude protein;
- and
- less than 18% acid detergent fiber.
Canola meal with at least 58% crude protein and less than 10% acid detergent fiber on an oil-free, dry matter basis.
A method of producing a meal, the method comprising:
- providing a rapeseed seed;
- substantially dehulling the rapeseed seed;
- extracting oil from the rapeseed seed;
- producing, from the dehulled and extracted rapeseed seed, a rapeseed meal comprising, on an oil-free, dry matter basis:
- at least 58% crude protein;
- and
- less than 10% acid detergent fiber.
