Flaxseeds are mostly added to food in the form of flaxseed powder, and the recommended addition amount is basically about 10%. Among them, there are many studies on bread products, which people love for their unique sensory qualities.

The rational use of flaxseed to prepare health care products, medicines, cosmetics, etc. has gradually attracted people's interest. Flaxseed extract can be used as a pharmaceutical ingredient in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction. At the same time, because linseed oil has good permeability, it can be added to special-purpose cosmetics. Flaxseed meal, a by-product of the extraction of linseed oil, can be used as a functional filler for the production of biodegradable compounds and can also be used in the production of animal feed.
In a word, the functional components of flaxseed have great application potential in the fields of medicine, chemical industry, feed and so on.
