Acetic acid occurs naturally in many plant species including Merrill flowers Telosma cordata), in which it was detected at a concentration of 2,610 ppm (Furukawa et al., 1993). In addition, acetic acid was detected in cacao seeds (1,520 to 7,100 ppm), celery, blackwood, blueberry juice (0.7 ppm), pineapples, licorice roots (2 ppm), grapes (1,500 to 2,000 ppm), onion bulbs, oats, horse chestnuts, coriander, ginseng, hot peppers, linseed (3,105 to 3,853 ppm), ambrette, and chocolate vines (Duke, 1992).

Flax is a versatile, blue-flowered crop. It is most likely one of the oldest cultivated plants, grown either for the oil extracted from the seed or for fibre from the stem (Figure 9.1.30). There is well-documented evidence of the use of flax fibres for textiles going back to prehistoric times (see Chapter 9.6). However, in contrast to olive oil, no precise indication of the traditional use of linseed and linseed oil for nutrition or other applications may be found. Indeed, the first reliable source for utilization of linseed oil, namely for paintings, dates back to the eleventh century, when the German monk Theophilus in his Schedula diversarum artium - De diversibus artibus described the use of linseed oil for oil paints and amber varnishes. ...

Where the main stem is terminated by a single flower and ceases to grow in length any further growth takes place by lateral branches, and they eventually terminate in a single flower and growth is stopped - a determinate inflorescence (Fig. 1.24b), e.g. linseed. 

Linseed and flax are susceptible to some important seed borne diseases. No more than 5% of seeds should be infected with the following Botrytis spp., Alternaria spp., Fusarium spp., Colletotrichum Uni and Ascochyta linicola. (In the case of flax seed even more stringent conditions apply and no more than 1% of seed should be contaminated with. linicola.) Seed crops are normally sprayed with an approved fungicide before the end of flowering in order to try to achieve these standards. 

For fiber production, h. is cut when the male plants are in full flower and shedding pollen. The subsequent retting and scutching processes are similar to those for - linseed and - flax. H. seed contains 32% oil, 25% protein and 20% starch. Seed of h. is also useful as food. The oil (rich in C18 2 and C18 3) was used for centuries as burning oil for lamps, and its leaves and flowers were used in pharmaceutical applications. After solvent extraction, the meal may be applied as animal feed. H. fibers are also being used for the manufacturing of paper and technical filters and for the pads of brakes and clutches as well as insulation, e.g., in house construction or in automobiles.
