ABSTRACT

The objective of the study was the identification, on the basis of its chemical composition, of a spring rapeseed cultivar most suitable for rapeseed oil production for use in fuels. The study involved the following spring rapeseed cultivars – Bosman, California, Capio, Liciassic, and Pomorzanin, harvested in the years 2003 and 2004. On the basis of conducted research, it was stated that rapeseed of the Bosman cultivar is characterized by the most favourable composition of unsaturated fatty acids in terms of fuel production.

Key words: rapeseed, fatty acids.
