are protein and lipid-rich and have a reduced fibre content, and plant
oils from oilseeds for use in fish or other non-human animal diets or
human foods comprising the steps of: providing a source of oilseed;
subjecting the oilseed to heat treatment to substantially reduce the
concentration of at least some antinutritional components normally
present in the oilseed to obtain heat-treated seed; dehulling the
heat-treated seed to produce a meat fraction, a hull fraction or a
mixture thereof; and cold pressing the meat fraction or the mixture to
yeild the plant oils and the protein and lipid-rich meals.
