“…Higher levels of flaxseed are associated with prevention of memory loss and constipation. Flaxseed also contains several non-nutritional compounds such as cyanogenic glycosides, cadmium, trypsin inhibitors, and phytic acid that negatively influence health and well-being (Mishra and Verma 2013). Flaxseeds contain phenolic compounds called lignans, and secoisolariciresinol-diglucoside (SDG) is a major lignan with putative health benefits such as antioxidant and anticancer effects.…”

Background: There is a worldwide demand for phenolic compounds (PC) because they exhibit several biological activities. The present investigation deals with a comprehensive study on the biological activities of phenolic compounds extracted from flaxseed meal (FM) with the aid of ultrasonic waves. Results:The antioxidant activity of the PC extract of FM is considerably high when measuring it by the three methods (the β-carotene coupled oxidation method, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity method, and measuring the reducing antioxidant power). The toxicity test revealed that the PC extract was nontoxic on normal retina cell line. Also, it has no anticoagulating activity. Evaluation of antimicrobial activity showed that it is effective towards four strains only from seven. FM phenolic extract has been evaluated as chemo-preventive agents by testing the product for any cytotoxic activity against human tumor cell lines. The highest inhibitory effect was achieved on cell lines of colon carcinoma and lung carcinoma with IC 50 = 22.3 and 22.6 μ/ml respectively. Conclusion: The PC extracted from FM showed high antioxidant activity, nontoxic on normal retina cell line, no anticoagulating activities, and an antimicrobial effect on some pathogenic bacteria, so the phenolic compounds extracted from flaxseed meal showed significant biological activities.

“…As shown in Table (1) and (2) the results of antibiotic resistance profile for twenty S.aureus isolates and seven E.coli isolates to 13 commonly antibiotics used in hospitals by using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method 8 and all results for the diameter of inhibition zone are compared with standard zone of inhibition determined by CLSI 14 . The antibiotic susceptibility results appear high resistance towards Penicillin, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Rifampin, Gentamicin, and Amikacin S. aureus were resistance with percentage 100%, 100%, 95%, 90%,90% and 85% respectively, while E .coli resistant with percentage 100% for Penicillin , Ampicillin , Tetracycline and 95 %, for Rifampin and Gentamicin 85% for Amikacin, The bacterial chosen isolates showed a varying resistance to each of Chloramphenicol 85%, Cefotaxime 80%, Ciprofloxacin 70%, Tobromycin 80 % and Erythromycin 75 % for E.coli bacteria and Cefotaxime coli were resistant to the most antimicrobial agents tested, whereas most of them were sensitive for Imipenem.…”

“…As well as have antibacterial activity against several pathogenic bacteria 7 . Flaxseed is abundant in many nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acid, protein, and lignans 8 . Flaxseed is now attracting expanded interest as a meals because of its high fibre content, high content of bioactive phenolic compounds (specifically lignans) and excessive content material of the important omega-3 fatty acid alphalinolenic acid with ordinary stages of 55% within the oil 9 .…”

During the period from December 2014 to July 2015, isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria from clinical sources attending to AL-Hakeem Hospital and AL-Sadder Medical City in AL-Najaf province. A total of One hundred clinical samples from various sources included: UTI - patients, Burn, postoperative surgery site –Wound, The results revealed the occurrence (52) bacterial isolate were isolated, 37(71%) were gram– positive bacteria that was divided into S. aureus 20(39%), S. pyogen 9 (17%), and S. pneumonia 8 (15%). But only 15 (29%) was gram – negative bacteria which represented by E. coli 7(13%), and P.aeruginasa 4 (8%), Protuse mirabilis 4(8%). The susceptibility of S. aureus and E.coli bacteria which are consider the most common G+ve and G-ve nosocomial pathogen to routenly used antibiotic in Najaf hospitals were tested by using antibiotic susceptibility pattrons, in order to select one isolate from S.aureus and other one from E.coli which had the higher resistance to most antibiotic for continue the other steps of these study. The result illustrated that S.aureus No.5 and E. coli No.3 were greatly resistant to antibiotics, so regard as multi-drug resistant(MDR). Crud extracts of Linum usitatissimum which had been extracted by three solvents (petroleum ether, hexan and aqueous), for studying the chemical contents of these extracts by using suitable reagents and tested antibacterial activity on the growth of studied S.aureus and E. coli bacteria. The extraction of Essential fatty acid Semicarbazide (omega-3-6- fatty acid) from Linum usitatissium (Flax seed) and the chemical and physical properties of isolated oil compounds were studied by using thin layer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet spectrum (UV) and FTIR spectrum. The result revealed that shown high antibacterial activity against studied (S.aureus, E.coli). results explained broad spectrum antibacterial property of oil compounds against studied bacteria nosocomial.

“…It is used as food and animal feed and to produce fiber. As a food, flaxseed is used in the form of whole seeds, flour, or as oil [19,20]. The pro-health effect after consuming flaxseed depends on the type of product and form of consumption of the seed [21].…”

The present study aimed to analyze the effect of the addition of whole and milled flaxseed on the quality characteristics of yogurt. In the first stage of the research, the optimal dose of flaxseed was determined. In the second stage of the research, it was assessed whether the selected qualities of yogurt were affected by the form of flaxseed (whole or milled) and the time of addition (before or after fermentation). The yogurts obtained were stored at 5 °C for 21 days, and the changes in active acidity, apparent viscosity, syneresis, and the number of yogurt bacteria were determined. The results of the second stage of the study were subjected to two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (p < 0.05). The study showed that the addition of milled flaxseed to yogurts in the amount of 1% was optimal. Time and form of flaxseed supplementation significantly influenced the changes in active acidity, apparent viscosity, and syneresis in the tested yogurts. The addition of flaxseed did not significantly change the content of yogurt bacteria. The results indicate that to achieve increased apparent viscosity and reduced syneresis, it is more advantageous to use milled flaxseed rather than whole flaxseed.
