  • Why is flaxseed oil not used in food industry?
  • In recent years, the production and application of flaxseed oil have become one of the most concerned research topics in food industry due to its multiple health functions, great potential and development prospects. However, the poor stability and easy oxidation of flaxseed oil have become the main factors limiting its application.
  • How to extract oil from flaxseed?
  • Various techniques have been proposed for the extraction of oil from flaxseed, mainly including mechanical processing, solvent extraction, supercritical/subcritical fluid extraction, and microwave/ultrasonic -assisted extraction.
  • What is flaxseed oil?
  • Flaxseed oil arising from solin (trademarked by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and the Agricore United program as Linola?) is an exception as this oil is relatively stable after bleaching ( Przybylski, 2005 ).
  • Does flaxseed have a bioavailability?
  • Studies have shown that the bioavailability of ALA is related to the type of flaxseed ingested. The bioavailability of ALA in oil is higher than that of ground seed and whole seed (Austria et al., 2008).
  • How does flaxseed affect quality?
  • Flaxseed can change quality factors like moisture, color and hardness, and thus affect how well a product is received by consumers. Flaxseed can be used as seeds, flour, or oil in the formulation of a variety of baked items. It has been established that flaxseed flour reduces the moisture content in baked goods (Olombrada et al., 2023).
  • Does flaxseed oil need filtration?
  • Settling and filtration may be used for all flaxseed oil but industrial oil used for drying may be more fully refined with additional steps of alkali refining, bleaching, and deodorizing. Food and nutraceutical companies have developed a range of flaxseed food products to address market demand.
