Abstract

Global demand for fats and oils is high and continually rising on a yearly basis. Oilseeds provide a substantial contribution toward this need, feeding into both culinary and industrial markets. The three major oilseed crops are rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower. Linseed oil is also included as, although low in productivity compared to other crops, it has interesting properties and commercial uses. This article discusses the composition, and therefore properties of these oils, and the various uses which they are put to in the culinary and industrial sectors. In addition, information is given regarding the global and regional production of each crop.
