What is food-grade flaxseed oil?
Food-grade flaxseed oil is cold-pressed, obtained without solvent extraction, in the absence of oxygen, and marketed as edible flaxseed oil. Fresh, refrigerated and unprocessed, linseed oil is used as a nutritional supplement and is a traditional European ethnic food, highly regarded for its nutty flavor.
How is linseed oil produced?
The nutritional values are expressed as percent (%) by mass of total fat. Stand oil is generated by heating linseed oil near 300 °C for a few days in the complete absence of air. Under these conditions, the polyunsaturated fatty esters convert to conjugated dienes, which then undergo Diels-Alder reactions, leading to crosslinking.
Is linseed oil a triglyceride?
Linseed oil is an edible oil in demand as a dietary supplement, as a source of ¦Á-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. In parts of Europe, it is traditionally eaten with potatoes and quark. Linseed oil is a triglyceride, like other fats. Linseed oil is distinctive for its unusually large amount of ¦Á-linolenic acid, which oxidises in air.
