| Abstract: | Evaluation of the Quality of Oilseed-Cakes (Notes on Three International Congresses in 1970) In 1970, the problems involved in production and utilization of oilseeds were dealt with in three international congresses. Due to drastic rise in its production, rapeseed gained considerable interest in Canada and Europe. Therefore, at these congresses, the significance of rapeseed-cake as compared to other oilseed-cakes was discussed in several lectures. As compared to soya, the lower biological value of rape-flakes is due to presence of toxic glucosinolates, as well as due to the lower content of proteins and carbohydrates, and their poorer digestibility. Inspite of this, it appears according to latest experiments, that in future rapeseed-cake would not only serve as animalfeed but also as a source of protein in human nutrition. |
