The oils and fats plants contain triglycerides and low levels of diglycerides and monoglycerides of natural origin. Through an enzyme process developed by Kao Corp..'s Report glycerides that are found in oil which is the subject of this notice is shifted from triglycerides to diglycerides. The oil diacylglycerol plant includes 80% diglycerides (a mixture of 1.3 - and 1.2-diglycerides in a ratio of 7:3), 20% or less of triglycerides, 5% or less of monoglycerides, agents emulsifiers and antioxidants. The main fatty acids that make up this oil is oleic acid, linoleic and linolenic. The diacylglycerol vegetable oil is used in a ratio of 1:1 (p / p) to replace liquid vegetable oils in all their uses.
The evaluation conducted by the evaluators of the Food Directorate takes into account the following: how to produce oil diacylglycérol plant which is the subject of this notice, the composition of this oil and its nutritional qualities in comparison with those of other oils; scope nutritional and safety of the oil and the possible presence of toxic substances, anti, agents allergens or chemical contaminants in the oil. According to data provided by the complainant, it did not identify any safety problem or any nutritional problem linked to the consumption of oil diacylglycerol plant.
Under Title 28 of Part B of the Regulations on food and drugs, the Food Programme's responsibility to assess new foods and new food ingredients before marketing. The oil diacylglycerol plant is considered a new food, according to Article B.28.001, since it "does not present a history of safe use as food."
Description of the new process
The diacylglycerol vegetable oil is manufactured by esterification of fatty acids (derived from soybean oil and rapeseed food grade) with either monoacylglycerol or glycerol. The fatty acids are produced by a process of hydrolysis current heat the oil. The esterification is catalyzed by a lipase listed in Table V of Title 16 of the Law on Food and Drug Regulations and the Food and Drugs of Canada. After esterification, the reaction mixture is refined, washed and desodorise. Then we add additives allowed (antioxidants and emulsifiers) in refined oil before proceeding with its packaging and storage.
Microbiology
The lipase used in the manufacturing process, as well as its micro-source, is included in Table V of title 16 of Act Food and Drug Regulations and the Food and Drugs of Canada. It is therefore not necessary to evaluate the organization of production. |

The use of plants in agriculture to produce pharmaceutical or industrial compounds not intended to be used in general as food for humans and livestock
AGRICULTURE PLANT MOLECULAR
The Government of Canada initiated a general review of regulations on plant molecular farming. As long as the consultations and analysis will continue, applications related to field trials in confined conditions of PNTs intended to plant molecular farming will be dealt with case by case basis, and permits will be granted after this amendment .
Applicants must take note of the following recommendations:
It is not recommended to use food crops or fodder important for plant molecular farming.
It is also advisable to use for plant molecular farming crops pollinated by bees that contribute to the commercial production of honey. It encourages developers to consider the use of textile plants, cultures rarely used for human food or animal species for food or fodder special little or cultivated new crops as production platforms.
The host species should be able to afford the confinement to the extent possible. Thus, developers should take into account the level of cross pollination method of pollination, the possibility of behaving like a weed, the dormant seeds, the dispersal of seeds, the effectiveness of harvest, the tendency to form resemis and the possibility of regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in choosing a host plant.
Take that to our requests for field trials in confined conditions of PNTs intended to plant molecular farming, but learned culture traditionally used as food for humans or livestock, we must allow time for additional review by Health Canada (if a food crop is used) and / or Section of feeds the CFIA (if a forage crop is used) the possible risks to human food chain and animal (see 3.10.6). Please note that Health Canada and Biotechnology, the CFIA require 60 days for such an evaluation. When the data are incomplete, we must provide additional data, and a further period of 60 days is calculated from the receipt of such data. Applicants are encouraged to consult the Plant Biosafety Office as soon as possible to avoid delays in planting.
EMERGENCY PLANS
The applicant must also submit emergency plans in case of accidental interruption of confinement. These plans must provide immediate notification of regulatory authorities and people who handle products, as well as surveillance, tracking, recall and destruction of plant accidentally introduced into the environment and / or human food chain or animal.
It encourages developers to avoid food crops and fodder in the years following the harvest of PNTs intended to plant molecular farming. In some cases, some restrictions on the use of additional soil may apply after the harvest of PNTs intended to plant molecular farming, including restrictions on the planting of food crops and fodder (see Section 1 of Annex 4 ).

It was demonstrated that many components naturally present in vegetable oils have beneficial properties. When they are isolated and concentrated, a number of these active ingredients have proven effective in treating diseases very diverse, ranging from irritable bowel syndrome from chronic liver (1). Similarly, many fatty acids and other ingredients found in vegetable oils are known to be beneficial to health. There is a great potential for the development of vegetable oils functional. The active ingredients
The number of active ingredients already identified in oilseeds is impressive. Many of these components remain active until the salad or until the cooking, while others may be partially or completely removed during refining.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant present primarily in vegetable oils. Each fatty acid has specific properties (2). The linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid with the ability to reduce cholesterol levels, whereas alpha-linolenic acid has beneficial effects on the heart. Ricinolique acid is the active ingredient of castor oil and has a powerful laxative virtues, whereas gamma-linolenic acid is the cause of the properties of oil onagre, used especially in the treatment of chest pain and atopic eczema.
Phytosterols are found in vegetable oils, particularly in the oil seeds. The margarines enriched with sterols have recently made the headlines, their ability to lower cholesterol is apparently equivalent to that of many drugs (3). The rate of natural phytosterols present in many vegetable oils (corn oil: 968mg/100g, oil wheat germ: 553mg/100g and olive oil: 221mg/100g) would also contribute to significantly lower cholesterol (4).
Many other beneficial compounds are also extracted and concentrated on derivatives refining, including beta-carotene, vitamin K, phosphatidylcholine (used in the treatment of diseases of the liver), phosphatidylserine (mainly used in the degradation of brain capacity). |

Cleansing, also called detoxification, is our body's normal process of elimination, a function that occurs daily through our colon, liver, kidney, lungs, lymph and skin. Cleaning, also known as detoxification, is our body normal process of elimination, a function that occurs in everyday colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph nodes and skin. The most obvious forms of elimination are sweat, urine and bowel movements. The most obvious is the elimination of sweat, urine and feces. Other organs also eliminate, though you do not actually see this process. Other organs also eliminate, but you will not see this process. Despite the fact that we eliminate continuously, our bodies are having difficulty keeping up with the demand because we are accumulating an unnatural amount of toxins daily. Despite the fact that we eliminate continuously, our bodies are struggling to meet the demand because we are a natural accumulation of toxins amount per day. This toxic overload prevents our overworked organs and colon from finishing all their assigned tasks and as a result, the toxins collect within our system. This toxic overload prevents our bodies overloaded and colon finishing all their tasks and therefore, the collection of toxins within our system. The most common symptoms of toxic buildup include: stress, constipation or failure to have a regular daily bowel movement, feeling sluggish or low energy, lack of motivation, strong food cravings, high sugar consumption, caffeine dependency and unidentifiable illness. The most common symptoms of the accumulation of toxic include: stress, constipation or not having a bowel movement every day, a feeling of stagnation or low energy, lack of motivation, strong food cravings, high consumption of sugar, caffeine dependency and unidentifiable disease.

A handful of almonds a day, the first step toward healthy eating
The imbalance food is the cause of weight gain that often leads to obesity. Recognized as a serious disease that causes severe sometimes fatal complications, obesity is an issue of major public health on a global scale. 32.4% of adults in France are now overweight and this figure is steadily increasing. Children are also increasingly affected: 14.3% of them are affected by obesity (1). Recently, research has shown that the kernel is a good moderator of appetite whose consumption does not lead to weight gain: good news to the approach of spring!
