A detailed and comprehensive literature review on the various aspects of sophorolipids production (e.g. producing micro-organisms, bio-synthetic pathway, effect of medium components and other fermentation conditions and downstream process of sophorolipids is available in the published work of Van Bogaert et al. [5] [16] This work also discusses potential application of sophorolipids (and their ...

Genetically modified crops undergo a significant amount of regulation throughout the world. For a GM crop to be approved for release in the US, it must be assessed by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) agency within the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and may also be assessed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ...
The term "canola" denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world. [3] [4]
[66] [67] Canola oil produced using genetically modified plants has also not been shown to explicitly produce adverse effects. [68] It is usually accepted that canola oil poses no unusual health risks for humans. [67] Canola oil is generally recognized as safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration. [4] [48]
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination". [1]
Most vegetable oil used in the US is produced from GM crops canola, [159] maize/corn, [160] [161] cotton [162] and soybeans. [163] Vegetable oil is sold directly to consumers as cooking oil, shortening and margarine [164] and is used in prepared foods. There is a vanishingly small amount of protein or DNA from the original crop in vegetable oil.
Baldur Rosmund Stefansson, OC OM (April 26, 1917 – January 3, 2002) was a Canadian agricultural scientist and as one of the originators of canola, became known as the "Father of Canola". Born in Vestfold, Manitoba , a son of Icelandic immigrants Guðmundur and Jonina Stefansson, he served in the Canadian army during World War II .
