“…The trend for lower somatic cell counts when feeding higher levels of whole flaxseed agrees with the lower scores reported for early lactating dairy cows fed diets containing 100 g/kg DM whole flaxseed compared to diets containing energy booster, a saturated fat (Petit et al, 2007a) or compared to diets with no fat (Petit et al, 2007b). According to Kaithwas et al (2011), omega-3 FA from flaxseed oil may have anti-inflammatory properties as shown by lower microbial count in milk samples from infected udders following 7 days of intramammary administration of flaxseed oil.…”

“…An accentuated inflammatory rim seemed more obvious around the untreated burns than in the treated ones. This finding can be attributed to the anti-inflammatory and the antibacterial properties of linseed oil, pumpkin oil, and the healer reference (Hammar et al, 1999;Kaithwas et al, 2011;Sainath et al, 2011).…”

“…Recent studies demonstrating the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties for these two extracted oils (Eraslan et al, 2013;Hammar et al, 1999;Kaithwas & Majumdar, 2012;Kaithwas et al, 2011), have given us an impetus to pay a special attention to them. Despite all their characteristics, there have been no systematic studies carried out to evaluate their wound healing potential.…”

(2016) The evaluation of the healing proprieties of pumpkin and linseed oils on deep second-degree burns in rats, Pharmaceutical Biology, 54:4, 581-587, DOI: 10.3109/13880209.2015 Objective: The present study assesses the healing potential of pumpkin and linseed extracted oils on rats. Materials and methods: Uniform deep second-degree burns were induced on the dorsum of 24 rats, randomly divided into four groups. The burns were measured, photographed, and topically treated with saline solution, ''Cytol Centella Õ '', pumpkin, and linseed-extracted oils (0.52 ml/mm 2 of oil) each 2 d (up until day 33). Post-burning of the 33rd day, biopsies were histologically assessed. Results: At the end of the experiment, the rat groups treated with linseed, pumpkin oils, and ''Cytol Centella Õ '' had higher percentage of wound contraction (98.68, 96.71, and 92.54%, respectively) than the control group (58.38%). Wound biopsies from rats treated with extracted oils showed the best tissue regeneration proprieties as compared with the other groups. The histomorphometric analysis of biopsies revealed that linseed oil could significantly stimulate angiogenesis (55.6% ± 7.25). The pumpkin oil, and Cytol Centella Õ could significantly increase the collagen production 64.9% ± 5.94, and 61.2% ± 7.36, respectively. Discussion and conclusion: Overall, our study has given for the first time scientific evidence of the healing efficiency of pumpkin and linseed oils on burn-wounds.

“…And flaxseed was an annual herb and originated from Egypt (Kaithwas et al, 2011), and flaxseed was one of the oldest crops, having been cultivated since the beginning of civilization (Laux, 2011). Every part of the flaxseed plant was utilized commercially, either directly or after processing, while flaxseed oil and its sub-products were used in animal feed formulation (Laux, 2011;Singh et al, 2011;Shim et al, 2014) (Fig.…”

Linum usitatissimum L. (flaxseed) is emerging as an important functional food ingredient because of its rich contents, namely, α-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and fiber, which are potentially beneficial for human health. Furthermore, flax or flaxseed oil has also been incorporated as a functional food ingredient into various foods such as milk, dairy products, and meat products. Flaxseed is known to possess antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo, but its growth-stimulating effect on lactic acid bacteria is not clear. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine whether crude flaxseed extract stimulated the growth kefir-isolated lactic acid bacteria in vitro. The result of this study showed that Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens DN1, Lactobacillus brevis KCTC3102, Lactobacillus bulgaricus KCTC3635, and Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC3105 treated with 100 μL of crude flaxseed extract showed significantly higher growth than the control treated with 100 μL of water (p<0.05). Based on the results of this study, crude flaxseed extract could be used as a growth stimulator for lactic acid bacteria in various food applications, including production of milk and dairy products.
