canola
Canola refers to both an edible oil (also known as canola oil) produced from the seed of any of several varieties of the Brassicaceae family of plants, and to those plants, namely a cultivar of ''Brassica napus'' L., ''Brassica rapa'' subsp. ''oleifera'', syn. ''B. campestris'' L. or ''Brassica juncea''. To be called canola, it must contain less than 2% erucic acid and less than 30 micromoles glucosinolates. Consumption of the oil is common and, despite internet myths, does not cause harm in humans and livestock. It is also used as a source of biodiesel.
Canola was bred naturally from rapeseed at the University of Manitoba, Canada, by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson in the early 1970s, and had a different nutritional profile, in addition to much less erucic acid. In the international community, canola is generally referred to as rapeseed 00 or double zero rapeseed to denote both low glucosinolates and low erucic acid. In addition to varieties from the traditional ''B. rapa'' and ''B. napus'' species, recent cross-breeding of multiple lines of ''B. juncea'' have enabled this mustard variety to be classified as a canola variety by lowering both erucic acid and glucosinolates to the market standards, achieving 'LEAR' status (for low erucic acid rapeseed). It may also be referred to as canola oil and, according to the Canola Council of Canada, is considered safe for human consumption.
==Etymology==
The name "canola" was chosen by the board of the Rapeseed Association of Canada in the 1970s. The "Can" part stands for Canada and "ola" refers to oil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What is Canola? )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canola was a "calculated" risk )〕 However, a number of sources, including The Free Dictionary, continue to claim it stands for "Can(ada)+o(il)+l(ow)+a(cid). The name was coined partially to avoid the negative connotations of rapeseed.
