Through an alliance with Cargill, Bayer CropScience is developing specialty canola hybrids to be marketed through Cargill.
Oil from InVigor® Health hybrids has a high-oleic content designed to maintain stability in high heat food processing applications. This oil has been tested to ensure it meets the taste and functional needs of food companies. The high-oleic oil offers a healthier alternative to trans fatty acids created from hydrogenated vegetable oils.
InVigor Health canola provides the agronomic performance you can count on – the yield potential of an InVigor hybrid and the high stability oil profile required for contract premiums.
How will InVigor Health help growers?
InVigor Health gives you:
- A new value chain to help increase your canola marketability.
- The option to contract your canola crop into a specialty market.
- The opportunity to be part of an innovative new trend.
Premium markets, premium yields – InVigor Health canola hybrids
InVigor Health hybrids produce oil with high oleic content that offers a healthier alternative to trans fatty
acids created from hydrogenated vegetable oils.
InVigor Health canola hybrids contain LibertyLink technology which means you benefit from the yield potential
of an InVigor hybrid combined with the high stability oil profile required for contract premiums.
Details on obtaining a specialty canola contract and purchasing InVigor Health hybrids will be available through
the Cargill™ Specialty Canola Program in the fall of 2011.
