Octonion as traceless 3 x 3 matrices via a flexible Lie-admissible algebra

We are investigating a new non-associative algebra which is a flexible and Lie-admissible algebra satisfying a cubic relation with a bi-linear symmetric associative form. We can show then that this algebra is pseudo-alternative and hence can be deformed into an alternative algebra with the unit element. As an application, we demonstrate that octonion algebra can be realized in terms of traceless 3 x 3 matrices over a field F which is not of characteristic two nor three.
