Study of Chemical Composition and Evaluation of Anti-hypertensive Effect of A Fixed Oil Extracted from Linum usitatissimum grains by Oulad Ali Halima, Mebarka, Nasser Belboukhari, Khaled Sekkoum, Khawter

“…In this study we tried to test the ” anti-hypertension “ activity of this oil by simulating a blood cycle in the laboratory which allowed us to determine the variation in blood pressure as a function of the volume of oil injected into the blood cycle from 17.4 to 14.10. benefits such as: lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, decreasing the risk of neurological and obesity-related illnesses. The objective of this study is to extract the linseed oil and to characterize it chemically and physically; by pressing the seeds into two different temperatures : 67°C and 90°Coil yields ; 24% and 29% were obtained from linseed.…”
