Abstract
Linum usitatissimum ( Linseed ) seed oil is yellow coloured viscous liquid having high value of iodine value indicate higher content of unsaturated fatty acids. A synthesis of new fatty acid thiosemicarbazide derivative from Linum usitatissimum ( Linseed ) seed oil .The purpose of this study was investigating experimental the possible extraction of Linum usitatissimum (Linseed ) seed oil by using n-hexane . Preparation of mixed fatty acids from extracted oil and then synthesis of fatty acid thiosemicarbazide derivative . The infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction of fatty acid thiosemicarbazide was studied . The antibacterial activity of fatty acid thiosemicarbazide was evaluated . The bacteria B. cerus and E. coli was found to be more active and S.aureus was found to be less active.
