Genetic variation in phytosterol content of winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and development of NIRS calibration equations
2009-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Rapeseed oil is one of the richest natural sources of phytosterols, known to reduce the LDL-cholesterol levels, one of the major cardiovascular disease risk factors. Increasing the phytosterol content in rapeseed could give an added value to the oil and derived products. Our objective was to analyse the genetic variation of phytosterol content in modern winter rapeseed cultivars and resynthesized lines following f...
