Yogurt fortified with omega‐3 using nanoemulsion containing flaxseed oil: Investigation of physicochemical properties

Abstract Flaxseed oil as a natural ingredient has many health benefits due to the rich contents of omega‐3 fatty acids. However, its use in food formulations is limited because of low aqueous solubility, easy oxidation owing to the unsaturated nature of the fatty acids such as omega‐3. The aim of th...
