Antioxidant Properties of Water-Soluble Gum from Flaxseed Hulls

Soluble flaxseed gum (SFG) was extracted from flax (Linum usitatissimum) hulls using hot water, and its functional groups and antioxidant properties were investigated using infrared spectroscopy and different antioxidant assays (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), reducing power capacity, and β-carotene bleaching inhibition assay)...

Flaxseed and cardiovascular health.

Flaxseed and its components may improve cardiovascular health because of their numerous attributes. Flaxseed contains 35% of its mass as oil, of which 55% is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Flax meal, which is devoid of oil, contains the lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). Flaxseed, flaxseed with very low ALA, flaxseed oil, flax lignan complex (FLC), and SDG reduce the development of hyp...

The Phenolic Complex in Flaxseed Analysis, structural features and bioactivity

Flaxseed energy and macronutrients balance.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Flaxseed has functional properties in the reduction of the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Regardless of its high energy density, the consumption of flaxseed tends to promote body weight maintenance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate energy and macronutrient balance after flaxseed consumption. SUBJECT...

Anaphylaxis caused by flaxseed

Methods and results Prick-prick carried out with flaxseed showed a strong positivity. Skin prick test to inhaled allergens were positive to mites, dog and cat danders, plain tree and grasses. Skin prick test to food allergens were positive to almond, hazelnut, peanut, chestnut, walnut, mustard, lentils, soybeans, rice, oat, corn and lupine. Total IgE was: 291 UI/ml. Specific IgE (CAP, ThermoFis...
