Whereas freshly pressed linseed oil provides a delicate nutty flavor, a lingering bitter off-taste is developing upon storage at room temperature. Using a sensory guided fractionation approach, the key bitter compound was identified in stored linseed oil, and its structure was determined as the methionine sulfoxide-containing, cyclic octapeptide cyclo(PLFIM OLVF) by means of FTIR, LC-MS, NMR spectroscopy, and amino acid analysis. Although this peptide is known in the literature as cyclolinopeptide E, the bitter taste activity of this compound has not previously been described. Sensory evaluation revealed a recognition threshold concentration of 12.3 micromol/L water.

The paper presents the results of research on the rheological properties and stability of oil-in-water emulsions containing cellulose derivatives: methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. The continuous phase of the emulsion was a 70% ethanol (EtOH) solution by volume. The dispersed phase consisted of mineral, linseed, and canola oils (20% by volume).

Omega-3 fatty acids are an important factor contributing to the prevention and cure of numerous diseases, and therefore their supplementation with diet is a significant issue. There are numerous supplements on the market containing omega-3 acids, of both plant and animal origin. In our study, we compared an effect of linseed oil, ethyl esters of linseed oil and fish oil supplementation to rats' diet on their blood serum and erythrocyte fatty acid profile.

Background: Chamomile and flaxseed are traditionally used medicinal plants to treat painful menstruation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of chamomile and flaxseed on pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea in endometriosis patients.
Materials And Methods: A controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted on 102 endometriosis patients referred to Reyhane Infertility Center of Qom University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from July 2021 to March 2022.
Enhanced toughness of poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blends by incorporating an ADR chain-extending agent and a bio-resourced plasticizer.

Over the past decades, emerging bioplastics have attracted much interest from the scientific and industrial communities because of public concerns about environmental problems and sustainable development. In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was toughened by ductile biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and biosourced plasticizer epoxidized linseed oil (ELO), and a chain-extending agent (CEA) was added to promote the compatibility and toughness of the bio-blends. It was shown that "in situ" grafted polymers were created in the bio-blends with the aid of CEA, greatly enhancing the compatibility and ductility of the compatibilized blends.

An applicable and highly efficient methodology for the preparation of medium- and long-chain triglycerides (MLCTs) via the enzymatic transesterification of coconut oil with long-chain fatty acid triglycerides, named camellia oil, olive oil, linseed oil, algal oil, and rapeseed oil, respectively, has been proposed. The novel system achieved equilibrium in 5 min, and the MLCT yield ranged from 78.7 to 83.
