Linseed oil

Description:
Linseed oil, with the CAS number 8001-26-1, is a pale yellow to amber-colored oil derived from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). It is primarily composed of triglycerides, with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid, which is an omega-3 fatty acid. Linseed oil is known for its drying properties, making it a popular choice in the production of paints, varnishes, and inks, as it can polymerize upon exposure to air, forming a solid film. Additionally, it is used in the food industry as a nutritional supplement and in the production of linoleum flooring. The oil has a characteristic nutty flavor and is rich in essential fatty acids, contributing to its health benefits. However, it is sensitive to heat and light, which can lead to oxidation and rancidity. Proper storage in a cool, dark place is essential to maintain its quality. Overall, linseed oil is valued for its versatility in both industrial and culinary applications.
