  • How is linseed oil made?
  • Linseed oil for pharmaceutical uses is cold pressed from the ripe, crushed seeds (Hager 1993, p. 673). This is carried out using a screw compressor; the seeds are pushed through a pressing cylinder at low pressure and a maximum temperature of 40 °C.
  • How to recover oil from flaxseed?
