Yonezawa Oil's First-Pressed Rapeseed Salad Oil uses 100% Australian-grown rapeseed raw materials.
It has a distinctive roasted aroma and a refreshing flavor and rich taste inherent to rapeseed.
Recommended for deep frying as well.
It is light and has good oil release, and even when fried at 180°C, it is less likely to burn.
Rapeseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids such as oleic acid, linolenic acid, and linoleic acid. These support the absorption of vitamins.
The oil is extracted using a natural pressing method and refined through a proprietary hot water washing process (patented). No petroleum-based products are used during manufacturing.
**About Yonezawa Oil**
Founded in 1892 (Meiji 25), Yonezawa Oil has been dedicated solely to rapeseed oil for 127 years. Under the principle of "Do not use anything whose safety cannot be confirmed," we pursue food safety consistently.
All rapeseed used in Yonezawa Oil's products is non-GMO (non-genetically modified). We produce and supply only rapeseed that is cultivated and handled with segregation management (IP handling) from cultivation to distribution, contracting with farmers who grow non-GMO crops, without relying on chemical synthetic agents.
**Three Commitments of Yonezawa Oil**
1. We use non-GMO raw rapeseed.
Japan imports approximately 2.4 million tons of rapeseed annually, mainly from Canada and Australia. About 90% of these are GMO (genetically modified) rapeseed (93% from Canada, 22% from Australia). (Note) Until 1997, we used Canadian rapeseed, but after GMO cultivation began, we switched to Australian rapeseed. However, as GMO cultivation started in Australia as well, we now contract with farmers who grow non-GMO crops and purchase only segregated, non-GMO rapeseed for pressing.
2. We aim to increase domestic production and expand cultivation areas.
Domestic rapeseed production has recovered to over 3,000 tons annually. It is a useful crop because it requires little effort to cultivate, and after planting, the fields often improve in growth and yield for other crops. However, without a market, production cannot increase. Our company purchases and presses about 70% of domestic rapeseed production (2,250 tons), supporting farmers and striving to improve self-sufficiency.
3. No chemical synthetic agents or food additives are used in the manufacturing process.
While typical salad oils are produced using both pressing and extraction methods, extraction involves the use of n-hexane (a petroleum product) to dissolve residual oil from the raw materials after pressing. During refining, acids such as phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, caustic soda, and activated white clay are used for efficient purification. Our company exclusively uses pressing and refines with a patented hot water washing method, without adding silicone (antifoaming agents) or other additives.
*Depending on the quality of raw seeds, natural citric acid, activated carbon, or acidic white clay (raw clay) may be used during refining.*
**Nutritional Balance of the Plant Oil "Rapeseed Oil"**
Oil is composed of multiple fatty acids. Commonly known fatty acids include oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and medium-chain fatty acids.
All these fatty acids are beneficial to the human body. Due to media influence, intake can be skewed, but there are desirable ratios. According to materials from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, it is recommended to consume fatty acids in the order of ω-9 > ω-6 > ω-3. (Note) Olive oil is rich in oleic acid but contains very little linolenic acid. Recently, media coverage has highlighted perilla oil, which has the least oleic acid among oils to be consumed. Coconut oil contains very little oleic acid and essential fatty acids. Rapeseed oil contains a balanced ratio of ω-9, ω-6, and ω-3 fatty acids, making it a well-balanced plant oil.
