Flaxseed as a Source of Functional Ingredients
Scientific evidence supports flaxseed consumption; however, a large sector of the population is still unaware of the benefits associated to its consumption and its possible applications as functional food ingredient in foodstuffs. Flaxseed is mainly known by its high alpha-linolenic acid content, but it is also a lignan source, soluble fibre and protein, compounds which are biologically active ...
متن کاملFunctional Properties of Soybean Food Ingredients in Food Systems
The food system is the transformation of raw materials into healthy food products within biophysical and socio-cultural contexts which results in production, processing, distribution, preparation and consumption of food. Food systems include components of food availability, access and utilization which underpin food security (Gregory et al., 2005). The expanding world population has resulted to...
متن کاملInulin-type fructans: functional food ingredients.
A food (ingredient) is regarded as functional if it is satisfactorily demonstrated to affect beneficially 1 or more target functions in the body beyond adequate nutritional effects. The term inulin-type fructans covers all beta(2<--1) linear fructans including native inulin (DP 2-60, DP(av) = 12), oligofructose (DP 2-8, DP(av) = 4), and inulin HP (DP 10-60, DP(av) = 25) as well as Synergy 1, a ...
