Canola check sample series

Abstract Four separate check series for canola seed, canola meal, crude and crude degummed canola oil and refined, bleached and deodorized canola oil were started in July 1980. They are devised to help laboratories calibrate analytical procedures to be used on canola products. This paper describes the organization of the program and special features of canola analysis. It indicates and discusses less than reliable analyses and describes the active participation of the program organizers to improve reliability of analyses.
