Abstract: 

Lab scale and industrial scale processing of rapeseed meal (RSM) was applied to assess the feasibility of fractionation of RSM and the effect on nutritional value of RSM fractions of different origins. The results demonstrate the possibility to produce a 15-20% fraction with enhanced nutritional value. The efficacy of fractionation depends on the origin of the RSM.
