Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), Essential oil, GC-MS, Biological activity, Chemical compositionAbstract
The essential oil was obtained from flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) through cold press oil machine of ripe seeds. The chemical composition of the flaxseed essential oils was analyzed by GC-MS. The results revealed that the chemical composition of flaxseed essential oil was found as 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z)-(33.16%), Tributyl acetylcitrate (15.31%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid (Z, Z, Z)-(15.28%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (Z, Z, Z)-(12.72%), and Ethanol, 2-(9,12-octadecadienyloxy)-(Z, Z)-(9.54%) were found as major compounds followed by Ethyl Linoleolate (3.64%), Tricyclo [6.4.0.0 (3,7) and dodecane (2.04%)].These chemical compounds identified has general biological activities (Antioxidant, Antimicrobial Activity ,anti-inflammatory, Nematicide, Antihistaminic Antieczemic, Insectifuge). As a result of this study, it can be suggested that flaxseed essential oil in the biological application.
