Optimization of Canolol Production from Canola Meal Using Microwave Digestion as a Pre-Treatment Method.

ABSTRACT: Canola meal, the by-product of canola oil refining, is a rich source of phenolic compounds and protein. The meal, however, is primarily utilized as animal feed but represents an invaluable source of nutraceuticals. Of particular interest are the sinapates, sinapine and sinapic acid, with the decarboxylation of the latter to form canolol. Extracting these phenolics has been carried out using a variety of different methods, although there is an urgent need for environmentally safe and sustainable methods. Microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MAE), as a green extraction method, is receiving considerable interest. Its ease of use makes MAE one of the best methods for studying multiple solvents. The formation of canolol, from sinapine and sinapic acid, is primarily dependent on temperature, w
