ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to show the nutritional and health benefits implied by consumption of bread and pastry supplemented with linseed meal. Bread with 10 and 13% share of linseeds was characterised by higher amounts of protein, fat, dietary fibre, macro- and microelements in comparison to standard one. In the experiments on rats, a spectacular hypocholesteric effect of such bread was observed. Linseed pastry obtained high quality scores, irrespective of the linseed cultivar. A 3% increase in linseed in the recipe for flax hermit cookies and a 5% rise in flax muffins resulted in an increase in the amounts of proteins, dietary fibre, micro- and macroelements.
