Description
Linseed: A Multipurpose-Multisector Crop of Industrial Significance provides a general overview of linseed as a multipurpose-multisector crop for obtaining a number of valuable products. The book's sections present the use of linseed as food products and discuss a number of important topics, including genetic engineering and breeding advances, pre-harvest processing methods, advanced extraction and quality assessment, metabolic engineering, bioactivity, new food product development, chemistry, and functionality. The book also covers the use of linseed in the textile sector and modified linseed oil products, animal feed products, cosmetics, and personal use products, along with their industrial significance.
Food waste and the challenges of linseed crop production and processing into a number of industrial products are also discussed. This book acts as a comprehensive resource for food scientists, researchers, scholars, and industrial people related to food, nutraceutical, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and health practitioners, especially dieticians and nutritionists.
