Flaxseed – Semen Lini, ‘siemię lniane’ in Polish, is a valuable medicinal raw material. Flaxseed is a food ingredient with anticancer activity and antithrombotic properties. Flaxseed decoction is a traditional soothing treatment used in alimentary track diseases. Flaxseed contains numerous bioactive substances: α-linolenic acid, antioxidants, microelements, mainly selenium and lignans. The seeds of traditional flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) are characterized with very beneficial and rare composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the study of 16 accessions of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) it was found that the content of triunsaturated α-linolenic acid in seed oil was from 3,7 to 5,8 times higher than diunsaturated linolenic acid. The reservoir of seeds with higher content of α-linolenic acid is the Polish Flax Collection, which collection comprises traditional races and varieties of flax.
