  1. RSC I = rapeseed cake one; aNDF = neutral detergent fiber with heat stable amylase and expressed inclusive residual ash; NDF-CP = neutral detergent fiber bound crude protein; ADF = acid detergent fiber expressed inclusive residual ash; ADL (sa) = acid detergent lignin determined by solubilization of cellulose with sulphuric acid; GSL = glucosinolates; DM = dry matter
  2. aLinear regression analysis refers to the effect of residence time in the desolventizer/toaster on chemical composition 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)
