The dynamics of the bioactive compounds in oilseeds
Plant sterols have gained lot of interest in recent years. It is mainly because of their cholesterol-lowering effect in human blood serum, therefore they are used as active compounds in medicaments for cardiovascular diseases. Various other important applications, for example cure for some forms of cancer, are also known. Sterols are not only manufactured as medicaments but also as active ingredients in various functional foods. Theres an ongoing search for rich sources of natural sterols. Sterols from wood industrys tall oil and soya oil deodorisation destillate have mostly been used so far. The obtained data could be used to acknowledge rapesseed not only as a good source of oil and animal feed but also for bioactive compounds.The goal of our research was to determine the phytosterol and tocopherol level in locally grown rapeseed oil to evaluate its potential as a valuable source for bioactive compounds besides healthy food component. Moreover, the object of this study is to investigate the effect of various factors on the content and composition of said compounds.
