Production & Sourcing

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal is produced through a process that involves removing most of the natural oils from brown flaxseeds while retaining their nutritional value. Here’s how it’s made:

Extraction of Oils: Brown flaxseeds are first processed to extract a significant portion of the oils present in the seeds. This can be done through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction methods.

Grinding: The remaining flaxseed material, which is now lower in fat content, is ground into a fine powder. This grinding process breaks down the seeds into a texture similar to that of flour.

Screening and Sifting: The ground flaxseed material is screened and sifted to achieve a consistent particle size. This helps ensure uniformity in the final product.

Benefits

Flavor

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal has a mild, slightly nutty flavor. The flavor is less intense compared to whole flaxseeds due to the removal of most of the natural oils during the defatting process. This mild flavor makes it versatile for various culinary uses.

Texture

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal has a finely ground texture that is slightly gritty. It feels soft to the touch and can be easily incorporated into recipes. The texture is not as crunchy as whole flaxseeds, which makes it well-suited for blending into various dishes.

Color

The color of de-fatted brown flaxseed meal is light brown, similar to the natural color of whole brown flaxseeds. The color can vary slightly based on the roasting or processing methods used.

Nutritional Value

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal retains many of the nutritional benefits of whole flaxseeds, including being a good source of dietary fiber, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), and lignans. However, since most of the natural oils have been removed, the fat content is significantly lower than that of whole flaxseeds. This can be beneficial for those looking to reduce overall fat intake.

Moisture and Binding

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal has a lower fat content, which can affect its natural binding ability compared to whole flaxseeds. While it can still absorb moisture and contribute to the thickening of mixtures, it might not have the same gelling effect as whole flaxseeds when combined with liquids.

Aromatics

The aromatics of de-fatted brown flaxseed meal are milder than those of whole flaxseeds. When toasted, it can develop a subtle toasty aroma, but this aroma is less pronounced due to the reduced oil content.

Balance and Contrast

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal offers a balanced addition of mild nutty flavor and texture to dishes. Its fine texture allows for easy incorporation into recipes without overwhelming the overall texture.

Cultural and Regional Influence

The use of flaxseed meal, including de-fatted varieties, has gained popularity in various cuisines around the world, especially among health-conscious individuals and those seeking plant-based dietary options. It might be used in recipes spanning different cultures, particularly in dishes that benefit from added fiber and nutrition.

Special Dietary Considerations

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal is particularly suitable for individuals who are watching their fat intake or are sensitive to the high fat content of whole flaxseeds. It can be a valuable addition to diets focusing on weight management and cardiovascular health. Its mild flavor and texture make it a versatile ingredient for people following various dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian. However, as with any dietary change, it’s important for individuals with specific health conditions or dietary needs to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to their diet.

Uses in manufacturing

In food manufacturing, de-fatted brown flaxseed meal is used in a variety of ways due to its nutritional content, mild flavor, and fine texture. Here are some common applications:

Bakery

De-fatted brown flaxseed meal can be added to bread, rolls, bagels, and other baked goods to enhance their nutritional value. It can provide dietary fiber and a mild nutty flavor without significantly altering the texture of the final product.

Cereals and Breakfast Foods

Flaxseed meal is often incorporated into cereals, granolas, and oatmeal blends to increase their fiber content and provide a source of omega-3 fatty acids. It can add a nutty undertone to breakfast foods.

Gluten-Free Products

De-fatted flaxseed meal is a common ingredient in gluten-free baking. It can help improve the texture and structure of gluten-free baked goods, which might lack the binding properties of gluten.

Plant-Based Foods

Flaxseed meal can be used in plant-based meat alternatives, burgers, and sausages as a binding agent to hold the ingredients together and improve the overall texture.

Dressings and Sauces

De-fatted flaxseed meal can be used as a thickening agent in salad dressings, sauces, and gravies, adding a subtle nutty flavor and enhancing the texture.

Snack Foods

It can be incorporated into snack products like crackers, chips, and popcorn to provide additional fiber and nutrition. It can be blended into the dough or coating to achieve this.
