ALEXIM is a variety of flax (Linum usitatissimum L. f. elongata) that has been approved for cultivation in the Northwestern and Central regions. The variety has been registered since 1993 and is characterized by high seed quality, as confirmed by scientific research and testing. Flax ALEXIM is distinguished by good yield and is suitable for use both in the food industry and in folk medicine.
ALEXIM flax seeds possess valuable nutritional and therapeutic properties. They are a source of important macro- and micronutrients, vitamins B, E, A, C, as well as dietary fibers and Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids. Thanks to the high content of phytosterols and lignans, the seeds promote the normalization of metabolism, maintenance of women's health, prevention of tumor diseases, and improvement of the condition of skin and hair. In folk medicine, flax seeds are used for mild therapy of gastrointestinal diseases, as well as in cosmetology to improve skin elasticity and hair health.
In addition, ALEXIM flax seeds are a promising raw material for obtaining polysaccharide products. Research has shown that water extraction from the seeds of this variety can effectively extract polysaccharides that possess high biological properties. Technological parameters of the extraction process affect the yield of the target product, which opens up opportunities for scaling up the production of polysaccharides from flax seeds. Thus, flax ALEXIM represents a universal and valuable product for both the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
