Chlorophyll locked in at 3-5, now what!

[wd9]

Sorry Hopper, green does not come out in
the bin. You need two things for the
enzyme chlorophyllase to break down
chlorohyll, some warmth and at least 20%
moisture. Without those two, nothing
changes.

Chlorophyll affects shelf life and oil
rancidity. Clay and then centrifuging
(techniques vary) to remove it and it is
costly.

Will have to dissagree have binned plenty of canola in the past that was diagnosed by the elevator as higher green count only to remove from bin with 0 green count. Its the debatable ones that are not bright green, they will still turn yellow and probably should not have been diagnosed as green in the first place.

So what is aging in the outside air have to do with clay and a centrifuge? You lost me there.

From the quote:

Green seed is just another excuse for a
discount. They can take chlorophyll out of
the oil with filtration, it just takes a
little longer.

Someone will correct mee but there is more subjective testing comingfor green seed count.

Not sure how close to actual application.

An interesting experience at a canola meeting was
when they passed around a nice green tinted organic
canola oil - non hydrogenated and crushed cold press
only. The consumer paid about 4 to 5 times the price
of regular canola oil. One of its unique attributes was
being flavorfull (indicated as a benefit). My taster
called this oil rancid - not organic but achieved by
keeping regular canola oil around the kitchen too
long.

Discounts........ why shouldn't there be discounts or grade reductions for green content, fusarium, dockage, ergot, stones, tough, damp, low bushel weight etc? Sure they could blend it off, but why should you get the same price as something that meets the optimum specs?

Oh my god they are all out to screw us and rob us. Get a live!

[charliep]

Just curious if you find lumps, stones, other stuff in
the pelleted fertilizer you buy acceptable? Surely you
can deal with poor quality product. As a buyer, are
you trying to screw the fertilizer dealer?

[DogPatch]

So far we haven't had any lumps that were of concern. I have bought lumpy fertilizer to spread on hayland for either a discount, or free spreader rental though

[DogPatch]

in regards to the green canola oil sample..... we were always told, and it is true that a green or sunburnt potatoe was something to avoid. Funny how the processors always sneak a bunch into the 10lb bag that we have to buy, that we just end up throwing out. It might not have the been the producer, but rather the consumer that "got screwed"

The price of canola oil in the store is getting close to the "we can't afford to buy it" price

Dogpatch,

you should go to more Canola Producer meetings... we are given bottle after bottle... FREE.

It is hard to believe that a couple of tblspns of Canola Oil if it did cost 20 percent more... per serving... 1000L/t 70UK Tblspns/L ...
$1240/t from canola a local crusher... last I priced it in July.

At 2-3 cents per tblspoon it is hard to believe less than a cent per serving increase... would make Canola too expensive.

Cheers!
