Effect of Steam Explosion Pretreatment on Nutritional and Antioxidant Properties of Rapeseed Oil by HUANG Ying, ZHENG Chang, ZHOU Qi, LIU Changsheng, LI Wenlin

“…As the explosion pressure increased, the moisture content gradually declined from 42.17% to 92.24%, and the oil yield initially increased and then decreased, and the contents of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid significantly changed. The energy generated during steam explosion pretreatment could effectively destroy active substance complexes, resulting in the release of more free polyphenols, so that the average content of total phenols in the treatment group was increased by 9.56 folds on average when compared with the control group. …”
