In ancient Egypt, the flax plant was cultivated by the ancient Egyptians to produce linen out of the lignan abundantly present in the plant stem, which was used to wrap mummies. Linseed oil is extracted from the seeds of the flax seed using the extraction or pressing method. For thousands of years, linseed has been consumed as a food and also used as a remedial medicine. According to a new study by Future Market Insights, consumer demand for linseed oil is anticipated to experience a meteoric rise, aided by the high content of the omega-3 fatty acids, among the health conscious populace, globally.

Linseed oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Moreover, it is high in fiber, low in carbohydrates, and is gluten-free. The fatty acids present in the typical linseed oil are?-linolenic acid (51.9-55.2%), palmitic acid (about 7%), stearic acid (3.4-4.6%), oleic acid (18.5-22.6%), and linoleic acid (14.2-17%). The global market for linseed oil can be summarized in three product types, namely, raw linseed oil, boiled linseed oil, and double-boiled linseed oil. With the latter two types, storage of the product poses a major threat for the linseed oil arket, since linseed oil reacts with the surrounding oxygen and oxidizes asily. n this type of chemical reaction, heat is generated that can lead to spontaneous ombustion. Traditionally, linseed oil is used for treating various conditions such as nflammation, infections, abscesses, etc. Most recent studies have shown that, inseed oil rich in?-linolenic acid promotes excellent wound healing roperties in vitro. Linseed oil is gaining attraction as a superfood, due o the high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which aids in weight management and enefits the health. Linseed oil is generally not used for cooking purposes, unless t s food-grade, unprocessed, and pure linseed oil.
