Meal nutritional characteristics and oil profile of sprouted, dehulled, and solvent-extracted canola.

Background: Canola meal has limited utilization in feed and food applications because of the presence of antinutritional factors and a high fiber content. Thus, the present study used 3-day canola seed sprouting followed by hull removal to improve the nutritional quality of canola as a feed and food ingredient to further enhance and diversify the canola market.

Results: Seed sprouting and the hull removal process resulted in 63.
