Bottle of canola cooking oil

Canola is one of two cultivars of rapeseed or Brassica campestris (Brassica napus L. and B. campestris L.).[1] Their seeds are used to produce edible oil that is fit for human consumption because it has lower levels of erucic acid than traditional rapeseed oils and to produce livestock feed because it has reduced levels of the toxic glucosinolates.[2] Canola was originally naturally bred from rapeseed in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson in the early 1970s,[3][4] but it has a very different nutritional profile in addition to much less erucic acid.[5] The name "canola" was derived from "Canadian oil, low acid" in 1978.[6][7] A product known as LEAR (for low erucic acid rapeseed) derived from cross-breeding of multiple lines of Brassica juncea is also referred to as canola oil and is considered safe for consumption.[8]

Once considered a specialty crop in Canada, canola has become a major North American cash crop. Canada and the United States produce between 7 and 10 million tonnes of canola seed per year. Annual Canadian exports total 3 to 4 million tonnes of the seed, 700,000 tonnes of canola oil and 1 million tonnes of canola meal. The United States is a net consumer of canola oil. The major customers of canola seed are Japan, Mexico, China and Pakistan, while the bulk of canola oil and meal goes to the United States, with smaller amounts shipped to Mexico, China, and Europe. World production of rapeseed oil in the 2002–2003 season was about 14 million metric tons.[9]

Canola was developed through conventional plant breeding from rapeseed, an oilseed plant already used in ancient civilization. The word "rape" in rapeseed comes from the Latin word "rapum," meaning turnip. Turnip, rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, mustard and many other vegetables are related to the two canola varieties commonly grown, which are cultivars of Brassica napus and Brassica rapa. The negative associations due to the homophone "rape" resulted in creation of the more marketing-friendly name "Canola". The change in name also serves to distinguish it from regular rapeseed oil, which has much higher erucic acid content.

Hundreds of years ago, Asians and Europeans used rapeseed oil in lamps. As time progressed, people employed it as a cooking oil and added it to foods. Its use was limited until the development of steam power, when machinists found rapeseed oil clung to water- or steam-washed metal surfaces better than other lubricants. World War II saw high demand for the oil as a lubricant for the rapidly increasing number of steam engines in naval and merchant ships. When the war blocked European and Asian sources of rapeseed oil, a critical shortage developed and Canada began to expand its limited rapeseed production.

After the war, demand declined sharply and farmers began to look for other uses for the plant and its products. Edible rapeseed oil extracts were first put on the market in 1956–1957, but these suffered from several unacceptable characteristics. Rapeseed oil had a distinctive taste and a disagreeable greenish colour due to the presence of chlorophyll. It also contained a high concentration of erucic acid. Experiments on animals have pointed to the possibility that erucic acid, consumed in large quantities, may cause heart damage, though Indian researchers have published findings that call into question these conclusions and the implication that the consumption of mustard or rapeseed oil is dangerous.[10][11][12][13][14] Feed meal from the rapeseed plant was not particularly appealing to livestock, due to high levels of sharp-tasting compounds called glucosinolates.

Plant breeders in Canada, where rapeseed had been grown (mainly in Saskatchewan) since 1936, worked to improve the quality of the plant. In 1968 Dr. Baldur Stefansson of the University of Manitoba used selective breeding to develop a variety of rapeseed low in erucic acid. In 1974 another variety was produced low in both erucic acid and glucosinolates; it was named Canola, from Canadian oil, low acid.

A variety developed in 1998 is considered to be the most disease- and drought-resistant variety of Canola to date. This and other recent varieties have been produced by using genetic engineering.

An Oregon State University researcher has determined that growing winter canola for hybrid seed appears possible in central Oregon, USA. Canola is the highest-producing oil-seed crop, but the state prohibits it from being grown in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties because it may attract bees away from specialty seed crops such as carrots, which require bees for pollination.

Canola was originally a trademark but is now a generic term for this variety of oil. In Canada, an official definition of canola is codified in Canadian law.[15]

Production in the rest of the world

Africa: In the South of the Republic of South Africa,Canola was planted for the first time in 1993 in the region called the Overberg near the town called Swellendam. Swellendam's farmer's Co-operative, SSK- Sentraal-Suid Koöperasie started a oil refinery called Southern Oil Limited(Soill),according to the Afrikaans newespaper Die Burger's article on the 24/07/2009 it is the only Canola refinery in South Africa and refines about 3 500 ton per month.

카놀라유는 심장 건강에 좋은데,[19] 미국 영양협회(ADA)와 미심장협회(AHA)등을 포함하는 많은 건강 단체에서 인정한다.[20][21][22][23] 카놀라유는 美FDA(U.S. Food and Drug Administration)로 부터 심장병 예방을 공식적으로 인정받았으며,[24]이는 관상심장질환 위험을 줄이고, 불포화 지방산을 함유한다는 점에 근거한다.

유전자 조작

 
en:Saskatchewan의 카놀라 밭.

유전자 조작 카놀라는 제초제에 대한 내성을 지니며, 1995년 캐나다에서 처음 생산되었다. 오늘날 약 80%의 경지에서 유전자 조작 카놀라가 재배되고 있다.[28]

법적 쟁점

유전자 조작 카놀라는 법적 논쟁거리가 되어왔다. 이목을 끄는 사건이 있었는데, (en:몬산토 캐나다 대 슈마이저) 사건으로 몬산토en:퍼시 슈메이저간의 특허권 침해 소송이었다. 퍼시의 밭에서 몬산토의 en:글라이포세이트 내성 카놀라가 나왔다는 것이 발단이었다. 대법원은 퍼시의 밭에서 작물이 자라고 있으므로 몬산토의 특허를 침해한다고 판단하였다. 그러나 퍼시가 작물로 이익을 얻기 이전까지는 몬산토에 피해보상을 할 필요는 없다.[29] 퍼시는 유전자 오염에 대한 정화비용으로 660 캐나다달러를 청구하였으나, 몬산토가 이에 대하여 합의와 사건에 대한 상태 언급을 안하는 조건을 내걸었다. 퍼시는 이를 거부하고, 동일금액으로 법원에 소송을 제기하였다. 2008년 3월 19일 퍼시 슈메이저와 몬산토는 법정 밖에서 몬산토가 유전자 오염에 대한 정화비용으로 660 캐나다 달러를 지불하기로 합의하였다.[30]

유전자 조작 카놀라의 도입은 호주에서 상당한 논쟁을 불러 일으켰다.[31] 카놀라는 호주에서 세 번째로 많이 재배되는 작물인데, 간작작물로서 밀농사를 짓는 농부들이 땅의 힘을 북돋아주기 위해 자주 재배한다. 2008년 유전자 조작 작물은 호주에서 비식용작물인 카네이션, 면화가 있었다. 2003년에는 호주의 유전자 기술 위원들은 Glufosinate ammonium(제초제)에 내성을 지닌 카놀라를 승인했다.[32]

GM or transgenic canola varieties have been modified to be resistant to specific herbicides. They are called herbicide-resistant varieties. The plants are modified, but the oil is not modified. It is identical to canola oil from non-modified or conventional canola. Herbicide-resistant GM canola is grown on about 80% of the area in western Canada. GM canola was first introduced in 1995.
