CAS 8001-26-1: Linseed oil

Linseed oil is a polyunsaturated oil that is obtained from the seeds of the flax plant. It contains high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are necessary for cell membrane synthesis. Linseed oil also has antioxidant properties due to its high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Linseed oil is used in surface methodology experiments because it has a hydroxyl group on its surface that can bind to other molecules to form a thin film. The water permeability of linseed oil has been studied in detail using a variety of experimental models and was found to be high in all cases, with an experimental model showing that linseed oil has resistance against hepatic steatosis caused by obesity or diabetes. Linseed oil contains a complex enzyme called lipoxygenase, which can oxidize polyunsaturated fatty acids into lipids with an acid end product. This process can be performed inside microcapsules made out of linseed oil and this allows for the production of
