摘要
这是一个从无到有、再到成功的真实故事:二十世纪六、七十年代,为了使食用油能够实现自给,加拿大的科研工作者、农业生产者和商业加工商通过集体的努力,成功开发出新的油菜籽品种。通过这些新的双低油菜籽可以生产出健康、多用途的油品和双低油菜籽粕粉。现任,双低油菜籽已成为世界性的通用术语,但人们应该记住的是双低油菜籽永远是加拿大的骄傲。
Canola is Canada's major oilseed crop, a result of the cooperative action of research scientists, farm producers and commercial processors. Until the early 1960's Canada imported most of its edible oil. Concerted efforts during that decade focused attention on the edible oil potential of rapeseed and the value of its meal for livestock feed. Rapeseed became known as Canada's 'Cinderella crop'. Using traditional techniques, plant breeders succeeded in developing rapeseed cultivars with superior nutritive value for edible oil by reducing erucic acid, and for livestock feed by reducing the glucosinolates in the meal.
