The crop was introduced into Japan in the end of the 17th century, but its popularity did not begin to increase until the 1890s. The production of domestic fiber flax exceeded 45,000 metric tons in the late 1910s, and Japan had a well-developed linen industry for flax processing. In the 1960s, the mass production of synthetic fibers led to the collapse of Japanese linen industry, and consequently fiber flax culture in the country disappeared. In Japan, flaxseed oil with rapid drying property was once exclusively used for manufacturing a variety of industrial products such as paints, varnishes, linoleum, and printer’s ink. Recently, this vegetable oil has gradually attracted the attention of Japanese consumers because of its health benefits mainly attributed to its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid). Over the past decade, the consumption of edible flaxseed oil has been increasing rapidly, but domestic oil-seed flax production remains small. In this review, we describe the history of fiber flax cultivation in Japan. The current state, problems, and perspectives of oilseed flax culture and use in the country are also presentedNavadni lan (Linum usitatissimum L.) je starodavna poljščina, ki se goji že tisočletja zaradi vlaken kot tudi zaradi na olju bogatih semen. Poljščina je bila uvedena na Japonsko proti koncu 17. stoletja, toda njena priljubljenost se je začela povečevati še le po 1890. Domača pridelava lanenih vlaken je v letu 1910 presegla 45.000 metričnih ton in Japonska je imela v tem času dobro razvito industrijo za predelavo lanu. V obdobju šestdesetih let (1960) je masovna proizvodna plastičnih vlaken povzročila propad industrije lanu na Japonskem, posledično se je izgubila tudi kultura gojenja lanu za vlakna v državi. Potem se je laneno olje na Japonskem , ki se hitro suši, skoraj izključno uporabljalo za izdelavo različnih industrijskih izdelkov kot so barve, laki, linolej in tiskarsko črnilo. V zadnjem času postaja to rastlinsko olje na Japonskem vse bolj priljubljeno pri potrošnikih zaradi zdravilnih lastnosti, ki jih v glavnem pripisujejo veliki vsebnosti alfa-linolenske kisline (omega-3 maščobne kisline). V zadnjih desetletjih se potrošnja jedilnega lanenega olja hitro povečuje, a pridelava ostaja majhna. V tem pregledu je opisana zgodovina pridelave lanu za vlakna na Japonskem. Prikazano je trenutno stanje, problemi in perspektive gojenja lanu za olje v deželiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Biotehniška fakulteta
