<em>Background</em> <i>Brassica</i> rapeseed crops contain high concentrations of oil in the seed. The remaining meal, following oil extraction, has a high protein content, but is of low value due to the presence of high amounts of napin seed storage proteins. These 2S albumin‐like proteins are difficult to digest and have been identified as major allergens in humans.</p>
