FLAXSEED AND FLAXSEED CAKE AS A SOURCE OF COMPOUNDS FOR FOOD INDUSTRY

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) has been used for centuries as a source for oil extraction. In recent years it has attracted considerable interest as a result of studies which attribute potential health benefits to its components, including the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases. Among these...
