Today, rapeseed is widely used in metallurgy, soap, leather and textile industries. It is used for the production of various technical oils and the increasingly gaining popularity of biofuels, as well as detergents and cosmetics.
Due to the high content of protein, fats, and nitrogen-free extractive substances, rape, after removing harmful glycosides from it, is used in animal husbandry as a food base for various combined feeds and premixes.
In the food industry, rapeseed is used in the preparation of margarine, as well as in various dishes.
