  • 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 flaxseed oil extracted?
  • This work compares the yield and quality of the flaxseed oil obtained by individually optimized supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCE), three-phase partitioning (TPP), solvent extraction and the reported values of cold press extraction.
  • 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).
  • Which extraction method gives the highest yield of oil from flaxseed?
  • Solvent extraction gave the highest oil yield. Oil extracted by SCE showed the best quality in terms of unsaturation and antioxidant activity. Enzymatic pre-treated TPP is a promising approach for extraction of oil from flaxseed as it simultaneously separates protein and oil.
