Linseed flour preparation
The seeds were submitted to thermal treatment in air
circulation stove (Nova Ética®, model 400/6ND) at 150°C,
for 15 minutes (17). After cooling at room temperature, the
linseed was ground in a food processor (ARNO®, Optimix
model). The resulting flour was placed in polyethylene bags
and stored under refrigeration at 4°C for approximately
seven days.
