While no negative health effects of any exposure to erucic acid have been documented in humans, publication of those studies led to governments worldwide moving away from oils with high levels of erucic acid,

The company's biodiesel production process generates biodiesel and the by-products of biodiesel production, such as glycerine, a distillation residue of biodiesel production known as plant asphalt, erucic acid and erucic amide, which has commercial applications.

Developed in Canada from rapeseed during the 1970s by Keith Downey and Baldur Stefansson it is used to produce oil that is low in erucic acid and glucosinolate and has become a major cash crop in North America.

Food-grade canola oil derived from rapeseed cultivars, also known as rapeseed 00 oil, low erucic acid rapeseed oil, LEAR oil, and rapeseed canola-equivalent oil, has been generally recognized as safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

Canola was bred from rapeseed at the University of Manitoba, Canada, by Keith Downey and Baldur R . Stefansson in the early 1970s, having then a different nutritional profile than present-day oil in addition to much less erucic acid.

Rapeseed oil is one of the oldest vegetable oils, but historically was used in limited quantities due to high levels of erucic acid, which is damaging to cardiac muscle of animals, and glucosinolates, which made it less nutritious in animal feed.

Derivatives of erucic acid have many further uses, such as behenyl alcohol ( CH 3 ( CH 2 ) 21 OH ), a pour point depressant ( enabling liquids to flow at a lower temperature ), and silver behenate, for use in photography.

However, the individual consuming at a high level has the potential to approach the PTDI . This would be particularly so if the level of erucic acid in canola oil was [ sic ] to exceed 2 % of the total fatty acids ."
