Variations in the structural and functional properties of flaxseed gum from six different flaxseed cultivars

Abstract Although flaxseed gum (FG) has been widely studied, the differences in its structure and function with respect to various flaxseed cultivars remain unclear. In this study, our objective was to examine the differences between FG samples obtained from different flaxseed cultivars based on the...
