Project
Potential human health benefit of canola extract
Summary
Canola (Brassica napus) is one of the major oil crops of Australia with tremendous economic value. However, protein-rich residual canola mill waste, due to its high concentration of anti nutritional components, is not considered suitable as preferred animal feed. In this study Canola antinutritional compounds will be studied to ascertain their role as a therapeutic agent against modern day ailments such as cancer, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.
