The effect of monovalent (Na+, K+) and divalent (Ca2+, Mg2+) cations on rapeseed oleosome (oil body) extraction and stability at pH 7

•Oleosomes extraction yield at pH 7 is enhanced by the addition of cations.•The highest oleosome extraction yield at pH 7 (64 wt%) was achieved with K+.•Monovalent cations cause minor coalescence of oleosomes.•Divalent cations cause extensive coalescence of oleosomes. Oleosomes are storage vehicles...
