1. Metabolic engineering of Crambe abyssinica for producing high erucic acid oil
Abstract : Vegetable oils are renewable and more environmentally friendly than fossil oils, and thus are good alternatives to fossil oils for industrial applications. Erucic acid (C22:1Δ13) is a valuable feedstock in the chemical industry. The current plant sources for erucic acid production are high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) and mustard. READ MORE

2. Bio-based materials from crambe and carinata industrial oilseed meals : compression moulded and extruded oilseed meal plastics
Abstract : Protein-based plastics are considered as a new route for valorisation of oilseed meal from the industrial oil crops Crambe abyssinia (crambe) and Brassica carinata (carinata) as they cannot be used for animal feed or human food. To convert oilseed meals into protein-based plastic films compression moulding was used with varying processing temperature, chemical additives and protein extraction conditions. READ MORE

3. The specificities of plant enzymes and their effects on the seed oil quality
Abstract : Triacylglycerols, glycerides with three fatty acids, are the chemical constituent of seed oils. The fatty acid composition determines the chemical and physical characteristics of an oil. Conventional vegetable oils contain a few reoccurring fatty acids, but plants can produce several hundreds of different fatty acids. READ MORE
