The content of C 16 , C 18 , C 20 , C 22 fatty acids were measured by gas liquid phase chromatography and linoleic and linolenic acids by spectral analyses on the oil from seven varieties of rapeseed grown at seven stations in Western Canada. Significant differences were found between varieties for all oil properties except the content of C 16 acids. The major variation occurred in C 18 , C 22 and linoleic acids with lesser amounts in the C 20 and linolenic acids. The varieties Golden, Argentine, Regina II and Swedish are classed as high, Gute and Arlo as intermediate, and Polish as low erucic acid oils.
