Flaxseed flour addition on fatty acid profile and sensory properties of brazilian cheese roll
In recent decades, studies on human nutrition have emphasized the importance of omega-3 and 6 intake. Since flaxseed is a good source for such fatty acids, the aim of this study was to develop a Brazilian cheese roll enriched with flaxseed flour. Three formulations were produced to determine the intensity of some sensory attributes and to set the best composition for conducting a consumer acceptance test. In the selected formulation, it was determined the Brazilian cheese roll's expansion rate, its physico-chemical characteristics, fatty acid composition and acceptance rate. Regarding its flavor and general characteristics, the results showed a good acceptance of the cheese roll enriched with flaxseed flour. The product also presented an omega-6/omega-3 ratio of 7.32:1.0, which is within the recommended one. Therefore, the cheese roll enriched with flaxseed presents as a good alternative for the traditional one, specially concerning the omega-3 and omega-6 content, which aggregates nutritional and functional benefits to the product.
