4-Vinylsyringol, also referred to as canolol, is a highly active antioxidant and potent lipidperoxyl radical scavenger found in rapeseed. The canolol content of rapeseed can be increased through the decarboxylation of sinapic acid via roasting treatments. Different roasting conditions were tested and compared and an optimum for the canolol formation was found at 160°C. The canolol content of the rapeseed samples with optimal roasting increased by a factor of 120 in relation to the unroasted sample. The rapeseed was ground, extracted and analysed by normal-phase HPLC/UV. The structure of canolol was confirmed by NMR and MS techniques. Several rapeseed oils were purchased in German food stores and analysed. No differences in canolol content were observed in both cold-pressed and rape kernel oil samples tested. Dehulled rapeseed samples demonstrated no significant difference in canolol content when compared to unpeeled rapeseed samples.
