RSC I = rapeseed cake one

aLinear regression analysis refers to the effect of residence time in the desolventizer/toaster on amino acid composition and protein quality of rapeseed meals A-D. Rapeseed meals A-D represent four differently processed rapeseed meals under standardized and defined conditions in a pilot plant (for details see Table 1)
