  • Which process is used to recover edible flaxseed oil?
  • Pre-pressing followed by solvent extraction is used to recover edible flaxseed oil for many industrial purposes (Kochhar, 2002) whereas cold pressing is commonly used for food oil products. Similar processes were described decades ago by Parkin (1950). Specific seed qualities may be beneficial in flaxseed products.
  • Where is flaxseed produced?
  • Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is mainly produced in Canada, Argentina, the United States and China. It is the fourth largest commercial oil crop in China due to the oil content of flaxseed is as high as 35 %¨C45 %, next to rape, soybean and peanut (Shim et al., 2015).
  • Is flaxseed a linolenic acid?
  • Flaxseed ( Linum usitatissimum L.) is a commercial oilseed that produces triglyceride oil that is a rich source of linolenic acid. Many Linum species are related to flaxseed but only L. usitatissimum L. is grown for commercial production of oil.
  • How is oil extracted from flaxseed?
  • Oil may be extracted from flaxseed by applying pressure and shear forces with mechanical expeller presses in a process called pressing (Zheng, Wiesenborn, Tostenson, & Kangas, 2003).
