Flax seed(Linseed, Linum usitatissimum L.) and its oil, a richest source of alpha-linolenic acid(ALA)(${\omega}-3$), contain saturated fatty acids, neurotoxic cyanogen glycosides and immuno-suppressive cyclic-nonapeptides. Present paper describes the development of two chemical processes, Process-A and -B, to remove saturated fatty acids and to destroy cyclic nonapeptides and cyanogen glycosides from flax seed oil. Process-A consists of three major steps, i.e., extraction of fatty acid mixture by alkaline saponification, removal of saturated fatty acid by urea-complexation, and triglyceride reconstruction of unsaturated fatty acid via fatty acyl-chloride activation using oxalyl chloride. Process-B consists of preparation of fatty acid ethyl ester by transesterification, elimination of saturated fatty acid ester by urea-complexation, and reconstruction of triglyceride by interesterification with glycerol-triacetate (triacetin). The destruction of lipophilic cyclic nonapeptide during saponification or transesterification processes could be demonstrated indirectly by the disappearance of antibacterial activity of bacitracin, an analogous cyclic-decapeptide. The cyanogen glycosides were found only in the dregs after hexane extraction, but not in the flax seed oil. The reconstructed triglyceride of flax seed oil, obtained by these two different pathways after elimination of saturated fatty acid and toxic components, showed agreeable properties as edible oil in terms of taste, acid value, iodine and peroxide value, glycerine content, and antioxidant activity.

셀룰로오스 디아세테이트(CDA)에 가소제로서 트리아세틴(TA)과 에폭시화된 콩기름(ESO)을 첨가하여 고속믹서에서 일차적으로 CDA를 가소화한 후, 여기에 화학적으로 처리한 라미섬유를 각각 첨가하여 천연섬유 복합체를 제조하였다. DMA측정에서 $tan\;\delta$ 피크로부터 유리전이 온도를 확인한 결과, 가소화된 CDA혼합체는 $85\;^{\circ}C$를 나타내고 여기에 라미섬유를 첨가하여 복합화한 필름의 경우는 $55\;^{\circ}C$ 증가한 $140\;^{\circ}C$의 $T_g$를 보였다. 기계적 강도 측정에서는 알칼리 처리된 라미섬유 필름이 상용화된 폴리프로필렌에 비교하여 인장강도와 탄성률이 각각 $15\%$와 $41\%$향상된 높은 수치로 우수한 물성이 관찰되었다 또한 복합 필름의 SEM 이미지로부터 알칼리 처리한 라미섬유(A1Ra)는 가소화된 CDA간의 계면접착성이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.
