Functional Properties:

• Hydration Capacity: Flax seeds can absorb about 8-10 times their weight in water, forming a mucilaginous gel.

• Emulsifying Capacity: Due to their mucilage content, flax seeds can act as an emulsifier in food preparations.

• Stability: Flax seeds are sensitive to light and heat; their oil content can oxidize, leading to rancidity. Ground flax seeds should be stored in airtight containers and refrigerated.

Lignans:

• Flax seeds are one of the richest sources of lignans, a type of phytoestrogen with antioxidant properties. Lignan content: ~0.3-0.4 g per 100 grams.

Applications:

• Food Industry: Used in baked goods, cereals, smoothies, and as an egg substitute in vegan recipes.

• Nutritional Supplements: Due to their high omega-3 fatty acid and lignan content.

• Cosmetic Industry: Occasionally used in skin and hair care products for their moisturizing and antioxidant properties.

• Industrial Uses: Linseed oil, extracted from flax seeds, is used in paints, varnishes, and linoleum.

Storage:

• Shelf Life: Whole flax seeds can be stored for up to 1 year in a cool, dry place. Ground flax seeds have a shorter shelf life and should be refrigerated and consumed within a few weeks.

• Optimal Storage Conditions: Below 25°C and in airtight containers to protect from light and oxygen.
