Flaxseed in Human Nutrition

Since 1995, when the first edition of Flaxseed in Human Nutrition was published, the consumer and food industry interest in flaxseed as a beneficial component in the human diet has continued to grow as the scientific literature on this subject has expanded over the past decade. This second edition of Flaxseed in Human Nutrition provides the current status of the knowledge about the analysis and composition of flaxseed, the metabolism and bioavailability of its major components, the effect of flaxseed on development and disease, processing of flaxseed, and availability of flaxseed products. Some of the research in these areas was just emerging in the early to mid-1990's and was incomplete or not described when the first edition was published.
