Abstract
Iodine number and fatty acid composition of linseed oil from flax varieties grown in Western Canada are reported. Differences in iodine number and linolenic acid due to environment were greater than differences between varieties grown in the same location, but varieties tended to maintain their respective rank in regard to fatty acid composition within broad limits regardless of environment.Keywords
