RAPESEED
Product Description
Rapeseed is a plant-derived sample commonly analyzed in laboratories for its biochemical composition, including oil content, fatty acid profile, and protein levels. Laboratory testing of rapeseed helps in quality control for food processing, nutritional analysis, and industrial applications such as biofuel research. Samples of rapeseed seeds or extracted oils undergo chromatographic, spectroscopic, and other analytical procedures to determine purity, contaminants, and nutritional value. These tests support research in agricultural science, food technology, and pharmaceutical development
Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications
- Analyzed for fatty acid composition using chromatography techniques.
- Used in nutritional content assessment and quality control studies.
- Tested for contaminants, pesticide residues, and quality assurance.
- Utilized in research on oil extraction methods and biofuel potential.
- Supports formulation development in food science and pharmaceuticals.
Secondary Uses
- Reference material in biochemical reagent preparation.
- Sample material in molecular biology and genetic studies of oilseed crops.
