Les huiles de lin et de chanvre appartiennent à la famille des huiles riches en acides gras polyinsaturés contenant de l’acide alpha-linolénique (ALA). Le contexte actuel du déficit d’apport en ALA, précurseur indispensable des AGPI de la série des omégas 3 (ou n-3), comme en ses dérivés métaboliques supérieurs (EPA, DHA), fonde le regain d’intérêt pour les sources apportant le précurseur de ces acides gras essentiels. Les autorisations de commercialisation de l’huile de chanvre ou l’évolution réglementaire dans le cas de l’huile de lin en France, ont tenu compte de cet atout nutritionnel pourvu que les conditions de stabilité en conservation soient garanties.
Abstract
Linseed and hempseed oils belong to the family of vegetable oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids containing alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). According to nutritional surveys, the recommended daily amounts of ALA are not fulfilled, leading to a non-optimised balance between omega 6 and 3 in the diet; in this context, vegetable oil sources of ALA have their role to play. Authorisations for food uses or regulation in the specific case of linseed oil in France have taken this nutritional asset into account, provided that the conditions of storage and utilisation are mentioned.
