(2016) Ratio of omega-6/omega-3 of spelt and flaxseed pasta and consumer acceptability. Czech Journal of Food Science, 34, 522–528. DOI: 10.17221/384/2015-CJFS1212-1800http://oa.fins.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/68peer-reviewedThe chemical composition and content of fatty acids in flaxseed and spelt flour were evaluated. The ratio of ω-6/ω-3 essential fatty acids is also analysed in spelt pasta and pasta with 0, 10, and 20% of flaxseed flour. Flaxseed flour has a better fatty acid profile than spelt flour, with low levels of saturated fat (approximately 8.99 g/100 g of flour) and a high concentration of linolenic acid (57.20 g/100 g of flour) and lower content of linoleic acid (15.98 g/100 g of flour), as well as superior ω-6/ω-3 ratio of 1 : 4. Flaxseed flour in pasta positively contributes to the daily intake of essential fatty acids recommended by nutritionists and the improvement of ω-6/ω-3 ratio. Although a new product is worse in texture quality, it will be acceptable to consumers who want to change their habits related to diet and enrich it with functional components.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessflourpastafatty acidsω-3/ω-6 ratiosensory evaluationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
