University of Saskatchewan find ways to convert canola and mustard meals into oil

In Canada, researchers at the University of Saskatchewan revealed that canola and mustard meals have some special chemical characteristics that allow them to convert into an oil product that is potentially useful. A problem, though, is that the oil produced is thick and doesn’t blend easily with petroleum, which is necessary for use in machinery like automobiles, but by removing the oxygenated compounds high-quality bio-oil can be produced which can be blended with petroleum crude.
