New Method Simplifies Biodiesel Production

They are using soybean flakes are incubated in alkaline methanol, eliminating the need to isolate and purify the oil before transesterification.
Could the same process be used with canola?

Soybeans are fairly large, and can be flaked easily. Canola seeds are extremely small, and would probably be ground to dust.
