Phospholipids of Rapeseeds and Rapeseed Oils: Factors Determining Their Content and Technological Significance-A Review

摘要

This paper is a review of research on the phospholipids found in the seeds and oils of the rape (Brassica napus). The first part presents the structures and chemical properties of those compounds, the pathway of their synthesis, and location of their occurrence in rapeseeds and describes the predominant compounds with regard to their quality and quantity characteristics. It also discusses the effect of genetic and environmental conditions on the content of phospholipids and their migration to oils, taking into account their technological properties and problems related to their presence in oils. Selected methods for removing phospholipids are also presented.
