Abstract

The substitution of fossil fuels with biofuels has been proposed by the European Union (EU) as part of a strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from road transport, increase security of energy supply and support the development of rural communities. Vegetable oils and their derivatives (especially methyl esters), commonly referred to as 'biodiesel', are prominent candidates as alternative diesel fuels. They have advanced from being purely experimental fuels to the initial stages of commercialization. They are technically competitive with or offer technical advantages compared to conventional diesel fuel. However, several problems remain including economics, combustions, some emissions, lube oil contamination, and low-temperature properties. Therefore, quality control of fuel-related properties of biodiesel is needed to obtain consistent engine performance by fuel users. The quality of the fuel is affected by the oil composition. Rapeseed oil has been targeted for fuel use because it produces an oil with a close-to-optimum set of fuel characteristics. In this paper we have reviewed past and current efforts, both by traditional seed-breeding methods and by genetic engineering, to modify rapeseed oil quality and yield.

지구 온난화의 주 원인인 온실가스의 배출을 감소시키기 위해서 바이오연료에 대한 필요성 및 중요성이 제기되어 왔다. 이미 유럽을 중심으로 오래전부터 바이오디젤 연료에 대한 연구가 시작되어 왔으며 지금은 상용화 단계에 접어들고 있는 반면, 국내 바이오디젤 연료에 대한 연구 수준은 이제 시작단계에 불과한 실정이다. 바이오디젤 연료로 사용가능한 유지작물의 지방산 조성에 따라 자동차 엔진 성능이 저하될 수 있다는 문제가 제기되었고, 이를 해결하고자 표준화된 바이오디젤 품질 규격서가 마련되어졌다. 유럽에서 마련된 바이오디젤 규격에 의하면 올레인산 함량이 높은 기름이 바이오디젤 연료로 적합하며, 유채기름이 다른 유지작물의 기름에 비하여 바이오디젤 연료에 적합하다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 국내 유지작물의 바이오디젤 연료화를 위한 품질 개량과 생산량 증대를 위해 생명공학기술을 이용한 품종 개량에 관한 연구 전략에 대해 고찰하였다.
