FLAX OIL

Flax Oil , also known as  Flax Oil , is a colourless to yellowish oil obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant. The oil is obtained by pressing, sometimes followed by solvent extraction.  Flax Oil  is a drying oil, meaning Flax Oil can polymerize into a solid form. Due to Flax Oil polymer-forming properties,  Flax Oil  can be used on Flax Oil own or blended with combinations of other oils, resins or solvents as an impregnator, drying oil finish or varnish in wood finishing, as a pigment binder in oil paints, as a plasticizer and hardener in putty, and in the manufacture of linoleum.

Flax Oil  is an edible oil in demand as a nutritional supplement, as a source of α-Linolenic acid, (an omega-3 fatty acid). In parts of Europe, Flax Oil is traditionally eaten with potatoes and quark. Flax Oil is regarded as a delicacy due to Flax Oil hearty taste, that enhances the flavour of quark, which is otherwise bland.Most applications of  Flax Oil  exploit  Flax Oil  drying properties, i.e., the initial material is liquid or at least pliable and the aged material is rigid but not brittle. The water-repelling (hydrophobic) nature of the resulting hydrocarbon-based material is advantageous.

Flax Oil  is a common carrier used in oil paint. Flax Oil  can also be used as a painting medium, making oil paints more fluid, transparent and glossy. Flax Oil  is available in varieties such as cold pressed, alkali refined, sun bleached, sun thickened, and polymerised (stand oil). The introduction of  Flax Oil  was a significant advance in the technology of oil painting.Traditional glazing putty, consisting of a paste of chalk powder and  Flax Oil , is a sealant for glass windows that hardens within a few weeks of application and can then be painted over. The utility of putty is owed to the drying properties of  Flax Oil .When used as a wood finish,  Flax Oil  dries slowly and shrinks little upon hardening.  Flax Oil  does not cover the surface as varnish does, but soaks into the (visible and microscopic) pores, leaving a shiny but not glossy surface that shows off the grain of the wood. A  Flax Oil  finish is easily repaired, but Flax Oil provides no significant barrier against scratching. Only wax finishes are less protective. Liquid water penetrates a  Flax Oil  finish in mere minutes, and water vapour bypasses Flax Oil almost completely. Garden furniture treated with  Flax Oil  may develop mildew. Oiled wood may be yellowish and is likely to darken with age. Because Flax Oil fills the pores,  Flax Oil  partially protects wood from denting by compression.

Flax Oil  is a traditional finish for gun stocks, though very fine finish may require months to obtain. Several coats of  Flax Oil  is the traditional protective coating for the raw willow wood of cricket bats; Flax Oil is used so that the wood retains some moisture. New cricket bats are coated with  Flax Oil  and knocked-in to perfection so they last longer.  Flax Oil  is also often used by billiards or pool cue-makers for cue shafts, as a lubricant/protectant for wooden recorders, and used in place of epoxy to seal modern wooden surfboards. Additionally, a luthier may use  Flax Oil  when reconditioning a guitar, mandolin, or other stringed instrument's fret board; lemon-scented mineral oil is commonly used for cleaning, then a light amount of  Flax Oil  (or other drying oil) is applied to protect Flax Oil from grime that might otherwise result in accelerated deterioration of the wood.Boiled  Flax Oil  is used as sizing in traditional oil gilding to adhere sheets of gold leaf to a substrate (parchment, canvas, Armenian bole, etc.) Flax Oil has a much longer working time than water-based size and gives a firm smooth surface which is adhesive enough in the first 12-24 hours after application to cause the gold to attach firmly to the intended surface.

Flax Oil  is used to bind wood dust, cork particles, and related materials in the manufacture of the floor covering linoleum. After Flax Oil invention in 1860 by Frederick Walton, linoleum, or 'lino' for short, was a common form of domestic and industrial floor covering from the 1870s until the 1970s when Flax Oil was largely replaced by PVC ('vinyl') floor coverings. However, since the 1990s, linoleum is on the rise again, being considered more environmentally sound than PVC. Linoleum has given Flax Oil name to the printmaking technique linocut, in which a relief design is cut into the smooth surface and then inked and used to print an image. The results are similar to those obtained by woodcut printing.Flax seed oil is easily oxidized, and rapidly becomes rancid, with an unpleasant odour, unless refrigerated. Even when kept under cool conditions, Flax Oil has a shelf life of only a few weeks.dubious - discuss] Oil with an unpleasant or rancid odor should be discarded.

Oxidation of flax seed oil is a major commercial concern, and antioxidants may be added to prevent rancidification.Flax Oil  is not generally recommended for use in cooking, yet one study does show that the alpha linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil)  while bound in flaxseed was found to be stable for cooking. When bound to flaxseed  ALA/ Flax Oil can withstand temperatures up to 350 degrees F (176.67 C) for two hours.Food-grade  Flax Oil  is cold-pressed, obtained without solvent extraction, in the absence of oxygen, and marketed as edible  Flax Oil . Fresh, refrigerated and unprocessed,  Flax Oil  is used as a nutritional supplement and is a traditional European ethnic food, highly regarded for Flax Oil hearty taste. Flax Oil contains the highest level of the omega-3 fatty acid  ALA/ Flax Oil among vegetable oils.[need quotation to verify] Regular  Flax Oil  contains between 52% and 63%  ALA/ Flax Oil (C18:3 n-3). Plant breeders have developed flaxseed with both higher  ALA/ Flax Oil (70%) and very low  ALA/ Flax Oil content (< 3%).

Flax Oil is obtained by pressing oil and sometimes extracting solvent. Flax powder means Flax Oil can polymerize oil in a solid form. Depending on the polyester-forming properties,  Flax Oil  can be used on Flax Oil own or with combinations of other oils, resins or solvents as oil emulsifiers, varnish in wood coating, as oil paint pigment binder Plasticizer and hardening paste and linoleum manufacture. 

Flax Oil  use has declined over the past decades, with the increasing availability of synthetic alkyd resins that function similarly but are resistant to yellowing. Flax Oil  is an edible oil that is in demand as a dietary supplement as a source of α-Linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid). In part of Europe, Flax Oil is traditionally eaten with potatoes and quark. Flax Oil is considered to be flavor because of Flax Oil soft taste, otherwise Flax Oil enhances the flavor of the soft quark. Usage areas; Many  Flax Oil  applications take advantage of Flax Oil drying properties, ie the starting material is liquid or at least soft and the aged material is hard but not brittle. The hydrophobic nature of the resulting hydrocarbon-based material is advantageous.Traditional glazing putty, consisting of pastes containing chalk powder and  Flax Oil , is a sealant for glass windows that hardens within a few weeks and can then be painted. The benefit of the paste depends on the drying properties of  Flax Oil .Although  Flax Oil  is a traditional coating for gun stocks, Flax Oil can take months to get very thin coating. Several grains of flaxseed wool are the traditional protective coating for the raw foliage wood of cricket bats; Wood is used to retain some moisture.

New cricket bats are coated in  Flax Oil  and they join hands to perfection so Flax Oil lasts longer. Linen oil is often used by pool or pool markers for cue shafts, as a lubricant / preservative for wood loggers, and as a substitute for epoxy to cover modern wooden surfboards. In addition, a luthier can use  Flax Oil  when renewing the fretboard of a guitar, mandolin, or other stringed instrument; Mineral oil with a lemon scent is often used for cleaning, otherwise a light amount of  Flax Oil  (or another drying oil) is applied to protect the wood from contamination that could accelerate and deteriorate.Boiled  Flax Oil  is used as a dimension in traditional oil gilding to stick to the leaves of the golden layer (parchment, canvas, Armenian leg, etc.).

Flax Oil has a longer working time than water-based paint and adhere in the first 12-24 hours after application, causing the golds to adhere firmly to the desired surface.Linoleum oil is used in the manufacture of flooring linoleum to bind wood dust, cork particles and related materials. After Flax Oil invention by Frederick Walton in 1860, linoleum, or 'lino' for short, was a common form in which domestic and industrial flooring was largely covered with PVC ('vinyl') flooring from the 1870s to the 1970s. However, since the 1990s, linoleum has been on the rise again and there is more and more environmental noise than PVC. Linoleum named Flax Oil the printmaking technique linoleum, in which the embossed pattern is cut into the smooth surface and then inked and used to print an image. The results are similar to those obtained with wood printing.

Dietary Supplements and Foods;  Flax Oil  is easily oxidized and quickly comes to skunk with an unpleasant odor unless refrigerated. Even when kept under cool conditions, Flax Oil shelf life is only a few weeks. Doubtful - discuss] Oils with an unpleasant or smelly odor should be discarded.  Flax Oil  oxidation is a major trade concern, and antioxidants can be added to prevent cocaine. [10]  Flax Oil  is not generally recommended during cooking, but one study showed that alpha linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil)  is stable for cooking while Flax Oil is bound with flax seeds.

Representative triglyceride found in a  Flax Oil , a triester (triglyceride) derived of linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and oleic acid.  Flax Oil  is a triglyceride, like other fats.  Flax Oil  is distinctive for Flax Oil unusually large amount of α-linolenic acid, which has a distinctive reaction with oxygen in air. Specifically, the fatty acids in a typical  Flax Oil  are of the following types:The triply unsaturated α-linolenic acid (51.9–55.2%), The saturated acids palmitic acid (about 7%) and stearic acid (3.4–4.6%), The monounsaturated oleic acid (18.5–22.6%),The doubly unsaturated linoleic acid (14.2–17%). Having a high content of di- and tri-unsaturated esters,  Flax Oil  is particularly susceptible to polymerization reactions upon exposure to oxygen in air. This polymerization, which is called "drying", results in the rigidification of the material. To prevent premature drying,  Flax Oil -based products (oil paints, putty) are stored in airtight containers.

Rags soaked with  Flax Oil  stored pose fire hazard because they provide a large surface area for rapid oxidation. The oxidation of  Flax Oil  is exothermic, which may lead to spontaneous combustion In 1991, One Meridian Plaza, a high rise in Philadelphia, was severely damaged in a fire, in which three firefighters perished, thought to be caused by rags soaked with  Flax Oil .Most applications of  Flax Oil  exploit Flax Oil drying properties, i.e., the initial material is liquid or at least pliable and the aged material is rigid but not brittle. The water-repelling (hydrophobic) nature of the resulting hydrocarbon-based material is advantageous. Additionally, a luthier may use  Flax Oil  when reconditioning a guitar, mandolin, or other stringed instrument's fret board; lemon-scented mineral oil is commonly used for cleaning, then a light amount of  Flax Oil  (or other drying oil) is applied to protect Flax Oil from grime that might otherwise result in accelerated deterioration of the wood. Flax Oil  is used to bind wood dust, cork particles, and related materials in the manufacture of the floor covering linoleum.

After Flax Oil invention in 1860 by Frederick Walton, linoleum, or 'lino' for short, was a common form of domestic and industrial floor covering from the 1870s until the 1970s when Flax Oil was largely replaced by PVC ('vinyl') floor coverings. However, since the 1990s, linoleum is returning to favor, being considered more environmentally sound than PVC.Linoleum has given Flax Oil name to the printmaking technique linocut, in which a relief design is cut into the smooth surface and then inked and used to print an image. The results are similar to those obtained by woodcut printing. Raw cold-pressed  Flax Oil  – commonly known as flax seed oil in nutritional contexts – is easily oxidized, and rapidly becomes rancid, with an unpleasant odour, unless refrigerated.  Flax Oil  is not generally recommended for use in cooking. Alpha linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil)  while bound to flaxseed  ALA/ Flax Oil can withstand temperatures up to 175 °C (350 °F) for two hours.

Flaxseed is the seed from the plant Linum usitatissimum.  Flax Oil  and  Flax Oil  are the oils that come from flaxseed.  Flax Oil  is usually used in manufacturing, while  Flax Oil  is used for nutrition.  Flax Oil  contains the essential omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil) . In foods,  Flax Oil  is used in salad dressings and in margarines.  Flax Oil  is also used as a medicine.  Flax Oil  is used for carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic foot ulcers, and dry eye. Flax Oil is also used for heart disease, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), high levels of cholesterol or other fats (lipids) in the blood (hyperlipidemia), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.  Flax Oil  is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid. The alpha-linolenic acid and related chemicals in  Flax Oil  seem to decrease inflammation. That is why  Flax Oil  is thought to be useful for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory (swelling) diseases.

Flaxseed is the richest plant source of the ω-3 fatty acid i.e. α-linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil)  (Gebauer et al. 2006).  Flax Oil  is low in saturated fatty acids (9 %), moderate in monosaturated fatty acids (18 %), and rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid (73 %) (Cunnane et al. 1993). Of all lipids in  Flax Oil , α- linolenic acid is the major fatty acid ranging from 39.00 to 60.42 % followed by oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic acids, which provides an excellent ω-6:ω-3 fatty acid ratio of approximately 0.3:1. Although  Flax Oil  is naturally high in anti-oxidant like tocopherols and beta-carotene, traditional  Flax Oil  gets easily oxidized after being extracted and purified. The bioavailability of  ALA/ Flax Oil is dependent on the type of flax ingested ( ALA/ Flax Oil has greater bioavailability in oil than in milled seed, and has greater bioavailability in oil and milled seed than in whole seed)
Flax seed is an edible seed variety harvested from the flax plant. Flaxseed and  Flax Oil  were consumed by the ancient Greeks and Romans as food for centuries. Flax plants grown to obtain seeds are usually short and highly branched. Seeds are typically about 3-4mm long. They are usually brown, smooth and shiny.

They contain a mucous substance in their outer layer that becomes sticky when wet.Flax seeds are among the edible seed varieties harvested from the flax plant, which is one of the plant varieties belonging to the linen family. Flax plants grown to obtain seeds are generally short in size and very branched. Linseed and  Flax Oil , which were consumed as food for centuries by the Ancient Greeks and Romans, have numerous benefits for the human body due to Flax Oil rich nutritional content. For this reason,  Flax Oil  is one of the most preferred vegetable oil varieties today.  Flax Oil  obtained from the seeds of the flax plant grown in sunny regions is among the vegetable oil varieties used by humanity for centuries. The seeds obtained from the flax plant grown in different parts of the world are called flax seeds. The oil obtained by pressing the seeds obtained from flax plants is called  Flax Oil .

Containing high fiber content, flaxseed is also very rich in terms of vitamins. Rich in vitamins E, K, B12 and Omega 3, flaxseed contains beneficial oils and minerals. Having a rich nutritional content,  Flax Oil  has numerous benefits for the human body due to the vitamins, minerals and oils Flax Oil contains.Flaxseed is emerging as an important functional food ingredient because of Flax Oil rich contents of α-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and fiber.  Flax Oil , fibers and flax lignans have potential health benefits such as in reduction of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune and neurological disorders. Flax protein helps in the prevention and treatment of heart disease and in supporting the immune system. As a functional food ingredient, flax or  Flax Oil  has been incorporated into baked foods, juices, milk and dairy products, muffins, dry pasta products, macaroni and meat products. The present review focuses on the evidences of the potential health benefits of flaxseed through human and animals' recent studies and commercial use in various food products

Flaxseed is one of the oldest crops, having been cultivatedsince the beginning of civilization. The Latinname of the flaxseed is Linum usitatissimum, which means“very useful”. Flax was first introduced in United States bycolonists, primarily to produce fiber for clothing (Laux 2011).Every part of the flaxseed plant is utilized commercially, eitherdirectly or after processing. The stem yields good qualityfibers having high strength and durability. Flax has been used until 1990s principally for thefabrication of cloths (linen) and papers, while  Flax Oil and Flax Oil sub-products are used in animal feed formulation. There is a small difference in using theterms flaxseed and linseed. Flaxseed is used to describeflax when consumed as food by humans while linseed isused to describe flax when Flax Oil is used in the industry andfeed purpose (Morris 2008). In the last two decades,flaxseed has been the focus of increased interest in thefield of diet and disease research due to the potentialhealth benefits associated with some of Flax Oil biologicallyactive components.

Flaxseeds have nutritional character-istics and are rich source of ω-3 fatty acid: α-linolenicacid  (ALA/ Flax Oil) , short chain polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA), soluble and insoluble fibers, phytoestrogeniclignans (secoisolariciresinol diglycoside-SDG), proteinsand an array of antioxidants. Flax Oil growing popularity is due to health impartingbenefits in reducing cardiovascular diseases, decreasedrisk of cancer, particularly of the mammary and prostategland, anti-inflammatory activity, laxative effect, and al-leviation of menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis.Linum usitatissimum is just one species of the Linum family. Some are annuals others perennial.  The original ancestor of our domesticated flax and linseed  Linum biienne, was a little wild plant widely spread across Eurasia. Flax Oil had delicate wiry stems and dainty blue flowers. Way back in history our ancestors  would have found linseed amazingly useful.

They used Flax Oil stems for Flax Oil strong fibres to make string, ropes, fishing nets and clothes and the seeds would have been eaten as a nutritious food eaten like a grain. Later it’s oil became would become useful and the fibre too. Flax Oil : Omega-3, -6 and -9 in one softgel.The  Flax Oil  obtained from linseed supports the human organism in various ways. Replacing saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids in the diet helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid. (Regulation (EU) No. 432/2012). A small part of the alpha-linolenic acid is converted into the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in the human organism.  Flax Oil  production; The  Flax Oil  obtained from the seeds of Linum usitatissimum (linseed) is obtained by cold pressing and then filtered. The seeds are not pre-roasted during cold pressing. The temperature resulting from the pressing pressure is below 40 ° C.

Due to the gentle manufacturing process, the naturally occurring ingredients are retained.  Flax Oil  ingredients;  Flax Oil  is characterized above all by Flax Oil high content of unsaturated fatty acids, which is up to 90%. These include omega-3 fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid, omega-6 fatty acids such as linoleic acid and oleic acid, which is one of the omega-9 fatty acids.
 Flax Oil  is characterized by an extremely high content of alpha-linolenic acid, which makes up over half of the fatty acids in the oil. Alpha-linolenic acid is a vegetable omega-3 fatty acid. One of the main health benefits is to improve the body's supply of omega-3s. Since Flax Oil also contains little linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid),  Flax Oil  is very well suited to shift the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet towards omega-3. This has been recommended by nutritional science for years because today's diet is too high in omega-6 fatty acids.

For this reason, more omega-3 fats should be consumed on a regular basis. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has already approved the following health claims for  ALA/ Flax Oil in the Health Claim Regulation:  ALA/ Flax Oil helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Just 2 teaspoons (3 g each) cover the daily requirement of 2 g  ALA/ Flax Oil of an adult. Make sure you have a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Flaxseed unprocessed and crushed: Flax seeds are the small, brown seeds of the blue-flowering flax plant. They are surrounded by a solid cover that ideally protects the inside of the seed and contain around 40 g of fat per 100 g. They also contain around 20 g of fiber and 20 g of protein per 100 g.The flax plant, also known as flax, is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and was mainly used as a textile raw material in the past. Flax seeds, as well as the  Flax Oil  obtained from them, were already considered a remedy for many different diseases and ailments in ancient Greece. Today flaxseed is known as a superfood and is a popular ingredient in bread and muesli.

At the Solling oil mill, we have been producing our mill-fresh  Flax Oil  from linseed since 1996. This is one of the vegetable oils with the highest proportion of alpha-linolenic acid (approx. 50 g per 100 g).Many people associate  Flax Oil  primarily with a bitter taste. This is mainly due to the fact that  Flax Oil , due to Flax Oil special fatty acid spectrum, is very sensitive compared to other edible oils and often tastes rancid when consumed.  Flax Oil  contains more than 50 g alpha-linolenic acid per 100 g. Alpha-linolenic acid, or  ALA/ Flax Oil for short, is an essential omega-3 fatty acid, more precisely a triunsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms. The high amount of tri-unsaturated fatty acids causes the oil to oxidize quickly, which can quickly turn rancid and bitter in taste if Flax Oil is improperly manufactured and stored. The taste of  Flax Oil  not only determines the enjoyment, but is also an indication of good quality. Because fresh, high-quality  Flax Oil  can be recognized primarily by Flax Oil mild, not bitter taste.

Our  Flax Oil  is freshly produced every day in our oil mill in Solling by means of gentle cold pressing and filtered, bottled and stored in a cool and dark place within 24 hours until dispatch. However, protection begins earlier: We fill our  Flax Oil  into glass bottles that are opaque and protect the oil from UV rays. Each bottle is equipped with a spring dispenser when Flax Oil is closed, which enables easy and drop-precise dosing. In addition to the simple dosage, this has another advantage: the oxygen contact is less than with a large bottle opening, which protects the  Flax Oil  from rapid oxidation. Again and again one reads on the Internet about highly secret manufacturing processes in which the  Flax Oil  is obtained with the complete exclusion of light and oxygen. With creative marketing terms, a higher product quality should be suggested.  Flax Oil  is a fresh product. As with milk, for example, there are many technical and chemical refinements to extend the shelf life of the oil, but these interventions usually do not contribute to an increase in the quality and vitality of the product.From a technical point of view, the path of the flaxseed through the screw press to the oil drop in the nitrogen-filled barrel takes just under two minutes. Because no analytically measurable oxidation takes place within this time, the presence of light or oxygen during the pressing does not play a significant role in terms of freshness and quality. The  Flax Oil  is filtered pressure-free within 24 hours and filled into light-protected glass bottles with the exclusion of air.

Types of  Flax Oil :  Flax Oil  is a product of flaxseed processing. Depending on the production technology, there are several types: Unrefined  Flax Oil  - freed from mechanical impurities by settling, filtration or centrifugation. Retains a rich aroma, deteriorates during long-term storage and gives a sediment. Flax Oil is considered the most useful;  Hydrated  Flax Oil  - treated with water to remove phosphatides, which leave sediment in the oil. Does not sludge, retains a rich aroma;  Refined  Flax Oil  - is subjected to mechanical and chemical treatment (refining) with alkali, which neutralizes free fatty acids. Has no sediment, stable during storage, almost no smell; Refined bleached deodorized - apart from refining, Flax Oil is bleached and deodorized.  How  Flax Oil  is made: The edible oil is prepared using the cold-pressed method. With this pressing, the peeled and crushed seeds are not heated. Cold pressed oil retains most of the beneficial components of the original material.

During hot pressing, the raw material is crushed and heated up to 120 degrees. There are fewer useful substances in such a product. During extraction, oil is obtained from crushed seeds using special solvents. Then, using distillers, solvents are removed from it. Flax Oil is considered the least useful because Flax Oil uses a lot of "chemistry" in Flax Oil production. Cold pressed  Flax Oil  has Flax Oil own unique composition, which somewhat distinguishes Flax Oil from other vegetable oils. This product is made from flax seeds - dry grains are pressed and get an oily liquid. Since the benefits of  Flax Oil  for the body are determined by the content of biologically active substances from flax seeds in the product, first we will take a closer look at the composition and properties of flaxseed; Flaxseed, Flax Oil composition and properties: Flaxseed, Flax Oil composition and properties Flaxseed is starting to play an increasing role in world food production. Beginning in the 60s, the movement for the use of natural food products (products without preservatives, flavors, dyes, etc.) in the 80s came to the recognition of the need for a healthy diet.

The composition of flaxseed determines Flax Oil value as a dietary product. Flaxseeds are rich in protein, fat, gluten and fiber. The composition of flaxseed of the Canadian varieties, which dominate the world flax production, in terms of dry matter is as follows: fatty component - 41%, proteins - 21%, fiber - 28%, aromatic acids, lignin and hemicellulose, sugars - 6%, ash residue - 4% [one]. The composition of flaxseed varies significantly depending on the variety, growing environment and methods of processing flax . Proteins. The amino acid composition of flaxseed proteins is similar to that observed in soy proteins, which are considered the most nutritious plant proteins. The proteins in flaxseed are albumin and globulin. They differ from each other in solubility. Globulins of high molecular weight (58–66%) predominate . The share of albumin in the total protein component is 20–42%. The nutritional value of protein from flax seeds in a point assessment (casein is taken as 100) is estimated at 92 units . Fats. Flaxseed is rich in fats (41%) and therefore very valuable. Fats are trisubstituted derivatives of glycerol, or glycerol esters of a mixture of fatty acids. 

Flax Oil  is low in saturated fatty acids, which are undesirable in the diet. The uniqueness of  Flax Oil  lies in the very high content of polyunsaturated α-linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil) , an essential fatty acid in the human diet.  α-Linolenic acid belongs to the so-called essential fatty acids (see linoleic acid) and belongs to the class of omega-3-unsaturated fatty acids. The growing interest of physicians in Flax Oil is explained by the fact that ALA, like hormones, contributes to the implementation of important biological functions in the human body . Polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFA),  ALA/ Flax Oil and linoleic acid (LA), are precursors of long-chain PUFAs in the human body and are part of almost all cell membranes. α-Linolenic acid is a precursor of eicosanpentaenoic (EPE) and docosahexaenoic (DHE) acids (EPE is involved in the regeneration of the vascular system of the human body, DHE - in the growth and development of the brain ). Linoleic acid is metabolized in the body into arachidonic acid.

The balance of the two types of PUFA ( ALA/ Flax Oil and LA) is important for homeostasis and normal development of the human body. Today, in many diets of Western countries, the ratio of LA:  ALA/ Flax Oil is approximately (20-30): 1 instead of the required (1-2): 1. Studies show  that a high content of LA in the human diet contributes to an increase in blood viscosity, causes spasms and vasoconstriction, while  ALA/ Flax Oil has vasodilating properties and has anti-stress and antiarrhythmic effects . Thus, the introduction of flaxseed or  Flax Oil  into the diet brings the ratio of LA:  ALA/ Flax Oil closer to the vital one.On the Russian market,  Flax Oil  is practically the only food product made from flaxseed.

Flaxseed oils currently sold on the worldwide market are not governed by specific standards or specifications. In this study, the physicochemical and quality characteristics of seven cold-pressed flaxseed oils sold in New Zealand have been analyzed. General regulations and specification for edible vegetable oils and cold-pressed oils were used as a guide. Fatty acid composition, tocopherol composition, moisture and volatile matter content, free fatty acids, chlorophyll pigments, total phenolic acids, total flavanoids, acid value, unsaponifiable matter, peroxide value, conjugated dienoic acids, p-anisidine value and specific extinction in the ultraviolet spectrum of the flaxseed oils were measured. Color and dielectric measurement of the flaxseed oils were also estimated using a spectrocolorimeter and a food oil sensor, respectively. The physicochemical characteristics of the flaxseed oils were found to be quite similar with only a few significant variations.

Four out of the seven flaxseed oils passed all the quality tests conducted in this study.α-Linolenic acid  (ALA/ Flax Oil)  is an organic compound found in many common vegetable oils. In terms of its structure, it is named all-cis- 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid. In physiological literature, it is given the name 18:3. α-Linolenic acid is a carboxylic acid with an 18-carbon chain and three cis double bonds. The first double bond is located at the third carbon from the methyl end of the fatty acid chain, known as the n end. Thus, α-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated n?3 (omega-3) fatty acid. It is an isomer of gamma-linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated n?6 (omega-6) fatty acid. Occurrence; Seed oils are the richest sources of α-linolenic acid, notably those of chia, perilla, flaxseed (linseed oil), rapeseed (canola), and soybeans. Alpha-Linolenic acid is also obtained from the thylakoid membranes in the leaves of Pisum sativum (pea leaves).  ALA/ Flax Oil is not suitable for baking, as it will polymerize with itself, a feature exploited in paint with transition metal catalysts. Some  ALA/ Flax Oil will also oxidize at baking temperatures.History; Alpha-linolenic acid was first isolated by Rollett as cited in J. W. McCutcheon's synthesis in 1942 , and referred to in Green and Hilditch's 1930's survey. It was first artificially synthesized in 1995 from C6 homologating agents. A Wittig reaction of the phosphonium salt triphenylphosphonium bromide with methyl 9-oxononanoate, followed by saponification, completed the synthesis.
