Flax seed (Linum usitatissimum) is an essential oilseed crop that has grown in popularity in recent decades due to its unique nutritional profile. Flaxseed is high in α-Linolenic Acid (ALA), an omega- 3 fatty acid, protein, dietary fibre, and lignan, especially Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). Several studies have shown that these components are beneficial to human nutrition. Flaxseed has a major impact on human nutrition because it contains active compounds that have been associated with positive health outcomes, making it a crucial functional dietary item. Scientific data supports flaxseed use; nonetheless, a considerable portion of the population is still uninformed of the advantages connected with its consumption and its potential usage as a functional food element in cuisines. Flaxseed is well recognised for its high alpha-linolenic acid content, but it also contains lignans, soluble fibre, and protein, all of which are physiologically active in the prevention of some non-communicable chronic illnesses. Flaxseed dietary fibre has been shown to help relieve constipation, maintain regular bowel movements, and act as a hypocholestermic agent. SDGs contain antioxidant and free oxygen radical scavenging properties. As a result, it may possess anticancer properties. Flaxseed contains anti-nutrients such as cyanogenic glycosides and linatine. Flaxseed has a far lower anti-nutrient effect on human health than soyabean and canola. According to the researchers, flaxseed-infused food items can have excellent customer appeal as well as nutritional advantages.
