In order to protect rape seed against unfavourable quality changes during storage and processing, microwave and g-irradiation treatment was applied. The effect of this treatment was evaluated by investigating certain biochemical changes in the rape extracts. Whole seeds with moisture content of 8% were treated by microwave heating under controlled conditions. Approximately 10 min of treatment was required to decrease phospholipase D (PLD) activity to 10% of its original value and the protein profile of the rape extracts was changed as well. Neither PLD activity nor the protein pattern of the extracts was changed by gamma-radiation.
