Preheating detoxification of flaxseed and its impact on the quality of flaxseed by ZHOU Junzhuo, CHU Pengfei, DONG Guimei, PEI Xuechen, HUANG Jiaqian, ZHENG Rui, YIN Fawen, ZHOU Dayong

“…After pretreatment by the three methods, the polyphenol content, peroxide value (POV), and a* value of flaxseed increased significantly, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased, while polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content, amino acid content, and L*, W*, and b* values decreased, with varying degrees of wrinkles and cracks appearing on the surface of flaxseed, and the overall signal pattern of FTIR spectra did not change much. During the 40 ℃ accelerated storage process, the quality of flaxseed treated by all three preheating methods generally declined, and correlation analysis revealed that color change was a good indicator of quality changes in flaxseed. …”
