Abstract: The invention provides edible water-in-oil-in-water emulsions containing an emulsifying system in which the continuous aqueous phase has a pH between 6.5 and 2.0, contains between 10 and 80 wt. % of an oil and of which the discontinuous phase is at least 10 wt. % of the discontinuous aqueous phase and oil phase taken together. Preferably an o/w emulsifier such as protein, in particular egg yolk, is present and also a w/o emulsifier. The oil phase preferably has no solid constituents at 20.degree. C. The emulsions are useful as foodstuffs such as sauces and dressings, and in soups and ice-cream.

Abstract: A process for the detoxification of rapeseed which involves (a) autolyzing an aqueous mixture of rapeseed meal in the presence of myrosinase and ascorbic acid to achieve hydrolysis of glucosinolates present in the meal and (b) extracting the toxic products resulting from the hydrolysis of said glucosinolates using a polar, organic solvent. The detoxified rapeseed protein concentrate obtained according to the invention is a useful ingredient in foodstuffs for both human and animal consumption.
