Abstract
Flaxseed is the seed from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum L.), which is a

Flaxseed is regaining its popularity from its traditional usage as a raw material in oil
production because of the reported health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. The deoiled
meal after extraction of oil is an overlooked by product in spite of its high protein and
nutrients. The aim of the present investigation was to develop cold milling extraction
process to get omega-3 fatty acid rich oil form flaxseed and to utilize the deoiled
flaxseed meal to develop suitable processing technologies for production of deoiled
flaxseed meal flour, cookies and protein bar with adequate shelf-life.
