Medicinal plants are the richest biosource of drugs of traditional system of medicine. Flax seeds (Linum usitastassimum L) is a multipurpose crop and its consumption is beneficial for health. Flax seeds is a abundant spring of healthy fat, antioxidant and fibre. The nutrient in flax seeds may help under risk of diabetes, cancer, cardiac disease and thyroid. The present study deals with qualitatitive analysis of phytochemicals by the standard method of Harbone .followed by the extraction of seed oil by sohxlet apparatus using petroleum ether as solvent. Quantitative analysis were also done to determine the amount of such phytochemicals. Phytochemicals analysis of flax seeds showed the presence of glycosides, alkaloids and flavonoids in varying amounts which can be used in future for preparation of herbal drugs. Nanosynthesis of flax seeds were also done by using silver nitrate and silver nanoparticle were prepared. Characterisation of silver nanoparticle by U.V Spectroscopy,SEM and EDX Analysis And FTIR Analysis.
