Non-hydrogenated canola oil for food applications

Abstract

A non-hydrogenated canola oil having superior oxidative stability and fry stability useful for food applications is disclosed, as well as seeds, plant lines and progeny thereof from which the oil is derived.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An oil comprising a non-hydrogenated canola oil having an oxidative stability of from about 37 to about 40 AOM hours in the absence of antioxidants.  
     
     
         2 . The oil of  claim 1  wherein the percentage increase of total polar material is about 6.7% after 32 hours of frying, and about 17.3% after 64 hours of frying.  
     
     
         3 . The oil of  claim 1  wherein the percentage increase of free fatty acids is about 0.28% after 32 hours of frying and about 0.73% after 64 hours of frying.  
     
     
         4 . The oil of  claim 1  wherein Lovibond color increase is about 2.4 red after 32 hours of frying and about 6.4 red after 64 hours of frying.  
     
     
         5 . The oil of  claim 1  wherein increase in para-anisidine value is about 112 absorbance/g after 32 hours of frying and about 125 absorbance/g after 64 hours of frying.  
     
     
         6 . The oil of  claim 1  wherein the peroxide value increases by a maximum of about 24.5 Meq/Kg after accelerated aging for 15 days.  
     
     
         7 . The oil of  claim 1  wherein the para-anisidine value increases by a maximum of about 6.9 absorbance/g after accelerated aging for 15 days.  
     
     
         8 . A seed comprising a  Brassica napus  canola variety containing an oil of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         9 . A progeny of a seed of  claim 8 .  
     
     
         10 . A seed of  claim 8  deposited with the American Type culture Collection and bearing accession number 75446.  
     
     
         11 . A  Brassica napus  plant line comprising a canola variety which produces seed oil of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         12 . A plant of the line of  claim 11 .  
     
     
         13 . Progeny of the seed of  claim 10 .  
     
     
         14 . A seed of  claim 8  designated as A13.30137.  
     
     
         15 . Progeny of the seed of  claim 14 .  
     
     
         16 . A  Brassica napus  line effective for producing seed containing an oil of  claim 1 , said line descending from a cross of line IMC129 and line IMC01.
