The increasing focus on healthy eating is a large part of canola’s success. Canola oil has one of the lowest saturated fat levels of all vegetable oils.
So, what makes Dow AgroSciences’ Nexera Omega-9 Canola Oil different from the heart-healthy canola oil already available?
Omega-9 genetics has a unique fatty acid profile. Omega-9 Oil has a higher percentage of oleic acid and a lower percentage of linolenic acid than commodity canola oil. This makes it a much more stable oil for some applications such as frying at high temperatures. In just over 10 years, Omega-9 Oils have replaced over 1.5 billion pounds of trans and saturated fats from the North American food supply.
“Omega-9 Canola Oil brings an extra level of value to canola oil which is already a premium product,” says Greg Gingera, North American canola-breeding leader, Dow AgroSciences. “Omega-9 Canola Oil allows access to markets that canola growers can’t currently access with commodity canola oil. Growing the Omega-9 segment will continue to grow greater value for the entire canola industry.”
