Value addition 
Omega-3 fortified bread
1 Omega-3 fortified bread
10 Based on functional properties of flour and nutritional, microbial, texture analysis and sensory evaluation of bread, it is recommended that a 5% linseed powder with or without blended linseed oil can be considered for developing the value added linseed bread

Blending of linseed oil with other edible oils
  Four years of experimentation on blending of linseed oil with coconut oil, palm olein and rice bran oil in the ratio of 80 (edible oils):20 (linseed oil), was found to improve the ratio of omega-6 to 3 to almost ≤3:1 in all experimental blends (i.e. coconut oil, palm olein and rice bran oil blends with linseed oil). The antioxidant, Asorbyl palmitate (500 mg/1 kg of oil) was found to control lipid peroxidation effective BVDU, Pune
