Linsēklu eļļa

Linsēklu eļļa ir pati pirmā no mūsu spiestajām eļļām un, ja tā var teikt, mūsu "rūpju bērns". Arī šobrīd tā ir ļoti novērtēta mūsu klientu vidū, kuri to skaisti ir nodēvējuši par 'garšīgāko linsēklu eļļu' Latvijā.

Linsēklu eļļa ir lielisks polinepiesātināto taukskābju avots: tā satur ap 50% linolēnskābes (omega-3), 10-15% linolskābes(omega-6) un ap 20% oleīnskābes.[1]

Eļļa satur ap 80 mg/100 g tokferolu. Galvenais no tiem γ-tokoferols(E-vitamīna pamatkomponente)[2] ir taukos šķīstošs antioksidants, kas aizsargā šūnu  membrānas no oksidatīviem bojājumiem.[3]

Šai eļļai raksturīgas minorās komponentes ir ciklolinopeptīdi, kas ir atbildīgi par eļļas garšas un samaržas īpašību izmaiņām glabāšanas laikā.

To oksidēšanās rezultātā veidojas metionīna S-oksīdi un metionīna S,S- dioksīdi, tāpēc eļļa iegūst rūgtenu garšu.[4] Tomēr nav zinātniska pamatojuma, ka šie savienojumi nodarītu kaitējumu organismam, gluži pretēji, ir pētījumi, kas apstiprina, ka CLE (galvenais ciklolinolpeptīds, kas rada rūgto garšu) izrāda imūnsupersīvas īpašības, kas ir izmantojamas autoimūnu slimību ārstēšanā.[5]

Linsēklu eļļai ir plašs pielietojums medicīnā dažādu slimību profilaksei un ārstēšanai:

- Augstā Omega-3 un Omega-6 taukskābju satura dēļ, tiek kontrolēta holesterīna un zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu koncentrācija asinīs, ārstējot tādas sirds un asinsvadu slimības kā diabētu, peritoneālo kapilāru caurlaidību (plānas asinsvadu sieniņas), leikocītu migrāciju un holestāzi[6]^,

-  Sekmē akūtu iekaisuma slimību ārstēšanu^[6]

- Sakarā ar tās sastāvā esošajiem lignāniem, eļļai piemīt antioksidanta un hormonu aktivitāteslīdzsvarošanas spējas, kas saistītas arī ar pretvēža īpašībām. Pierādīta to spēja inhibēt vēža šūnu augšanu tādējādi labvēlīgi ietekmējot krūts, olnīcu un prostatas vēža ārstēšanu.[7]

- Pateicoties ligānu labvēlīgajai ietekmei uz hormonālo veselību, linsēklu eļļa uzlabo matu un ādas veselību, mazina akni un spēcina matu saknes [8]

- Eļļa palīdz cīnīties ar artrītu, plaušu un nieru fibrozi^[6]

- Regulē normālu gremošanas sistēmas darbību[9]

Linseed oil

Linseed oil is the first of our pressing oils and, if it can be said, our 'child of care'. It oil is also currently highly valued among our customers, who have described it beautifully as the 'most tasty linseed oil' in Latvia.

First we had a long time ago to fight the claims made by even a number of prominent medics and nutritional scientists - the linoil was very quickly oxidising (even in a week!) and therefore only freshly pressed to be consumed.

The main argument was - the emergence of a bitter taste. It was only thanks to our partners from the RTU who found a serious scientific publication on the source of bitter taste, a health-enhancing substance cyclolinopeptide, that we were able to obtain a serious counter-argument for critics of linoil.

The other problem is - competition with fish and krill oils. Of course, the omega 3 and 6 fatty acids present in these oils are in more easily readable forms for the human body, but linoil fatty acids do not far behind, and other biologically active substances are found in the oil, but there are not in fish and krill oils.

At present, we are already preparing a comparative survey of all these oils, but now we give overview of the health-enhancing properties of linoil:

Linseed oil is a great source of polyunsaturated fatty acids: it contains around 50% of linolenic acid (omega-3), 10-15% linoleic acid (omega-6) and around 20% oleic acid. [1]

The oil contains approximately 80 mg/100 g of toxphenol. The main of those gamma-tocoferol (basic component of E-vitamin) [2] is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. [3]

Minor components specific to this oil are cyclolinopepptides responsible for changes in the taste and smell of the oil during storage.

Their oxidation results in S-oxides of methionine and S, S - dioxide of methionine, and therefore the oil yields a bitter taste. [4] However, there is no scientific justification that these compounds would harm the body, on the contrary, there are studies confirming that CLE (the main cyclolinolpeptide, which causes bitter taste) shows immunosuppersive properties that are used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. [5]

Linseed oil is widely used in medicine for the prevention and treatment of various diseases:

- High levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids control blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein concentrations in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as diabetes, peritoneal capillary permeability (thin blood vessel walls), white blood cell migration and cholestasis [6],

- Promotes the treatment of acute inflammatory diseases [6]

- Due to the lignants contained in it, the oil has an antioxidant and hormone-activating capacity associated with anticancer properties. Their ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells has been shown to have a beneficial effect on the treatment of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. [7]

- Due to the beneficial effects of ligans on hormonal health, linseed oil improves hair and skin health, reduces acne and strengthens hair roots [8]

- Oil helps to fight arthritis, lung and kidney fibrosis [6]

- Regulates the normal functioning of the digestive system [9]
