Flax seed is a nutritive grain which can prevent cancers and cardiovascular diseases, due to compounds such as omega 3 fatty acid, dietary fiber, protein and lignan. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oil extraction method on extraction efficiency and the amount of phenolic and antioxidant substances.

In this research two kinds of yellow and brown flaxseed were used for extraction of oil by cold press and solvent method (petroleum ether and ethanol) and extraction efficiency and phenolic and antioxidant compounds were compared.

The results showed that oil extraction was not possible with cold pressing method of yellow flax, and only meal was obtained. The yield of oil extraction for yellow and brown flax using ethanol were (6.6 ± 0.55 and 42.3 ± 1.15) and, for petroleum ether was (11.3 ± 0.98 and 63.03 ± 2.5) respectively. The evaluation of total phenolic compounds and the antioxidant effect of extracted solvents and cold press showed that there was a significant difference between the amount of phenolic compounds extracted by cold pressing method compared to the solvent method, as well as ethanol and petroleum ether solvents. The amount of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in yellow flax was higher than brown flax. Also, the amount of these compounds in the cold pressing method was higher than that of solvents.

The type of oil extraction method is highly impacts on the yield of extracted oil from flaxseeds. Brown flaxseed has significantly more oil and less phenolic and antioxidants compounds compared to yellow flaxseed.

Today's the mostly of oil reservoirs specially Iranian south-west oil reservoirs due to production from these reservoirs are at their second half of life. Water or gas injection at secondary enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in order to stabilize or reduction of pressure depletion it will no longer be responsible for reducing production. Therefore, tertiary EOR methods are used to prevent the loss of production. One of the tertiary EOR methods is using chemical injections. Injection of chemicals into oil reservoirs is used to increase the viscosity of the injected fluid, to reduce the interfacial tension between the injected fluid and the fluid produced, as well as to change the wettability of the reservoir rock. One of these chemicals, which is mainly used in relatively high permeability reservoirs, is polymers that are used to increase the viscosity of the injected fluid and also increase the mobility ratio of the reservoir fluids. This leads to the relatively piston sweeping of the produced fluid in the reservoir and also the postponement of the moment to reach the breakthrough time. One of the main challenges in the injection of polymers into oil reservoirs is the absorption of these polymers on the reservoir rock, which in addition to reducing the polymer's effectiveness in the entire injection region, also increases the cost of injection. Therefore, in this study, the effect of nanoparticles in order to reduce the adsorption of polymers on the reservoir and therefore the less polymer needed to achieve a specific production in the reservoir and, consequently, to reduce the environmental damage in order to produce polymers and also to inject them into oil reservoirs have been dealt with. The results show a decrease in polymer adsorption by the nanoparticles studied.
