Unique biological features and utilization of linseed (Linum usitatisimum l.) species determined in present and in future
The paper presented the origin and utilization of linseed form, taking into consideration the field and yield production area in the world, Europe and Poland. Linseed forms allow for climate conditions and farmers modulated utilization features. In Poland condition more common was fiber form plant ‘Flax’ since the oldest times till 20th century. Originally, flax was cultivated in gardens, and than relocated into the field without alternative fiber plant. Significant decreasing of flax cultivated in polish field in the middle of XIX was caused by wider spreading of cotton utilization in farms and decreasing of domestic fiber production. Flax products in those days were exchanged by cotton and Australian wool. At present fiber from Flax is exchanged into synthetic fiber or fiber mix with cotton. However bigger which acceptation for flax fiber clothes in states with moderate climate is observed including Poland, may stimulate flax area in the same level. Flax in our soil as well as weather conditions allow to produce higher quality of fiber. Recently seed flax has been utilized for linseed oil production. The assumption for linseed oil output was stable and cheapest by unique composition with α-linolenic acid source. Enrichment of wide sort of groceries with essential unsaturated acids allowe to improve food products. Effective enrichment with NNKT, as a F wit amine, is determined mainly by oilseed yield area, which significance will increase in the future. After 2000 mostly linseed form was cultivated. However, lower yield level of linseed should be determined by better cultivation technology conform to yellow and brown linseed varieties. Increasing of linseed production results to deliver from 1 to 1,5-2g α-linolenic acid into groceries per day, which is believed due to nutrition and health issues. Discovering and popularization of novel and others linseed utilization allow to maintain species in the field.
