Vid kallpressning av oljerika rapsfrön för att utvinna rapsolja blir det en pressrest kallad rapsfrökaka. Denna rapskaka har en hög proteinhalt och en aminosyrasammansättning bättre än flertalet andra vegetabilier. Förhoppningen är att detta kan utnyttjas i framtida livsmedelstillverkning. Raps innehåller en hög halt antinutrienter i form av glukosinolater, fenolföreningar och fytinsyra som efterWhen coldpressing rapeseeds in extraction of rapeseed oil, there becomes a pomace called rapeseed press rest. This rapeseed press rest has high protein content and an amino acid composition better than most other vegetables. Hopefully, rapeseed press rest can be used in future food production.
