Omega-3 is one of the essential fatty acids and is monumental for human health. But it is not produced by the
human body, so it must be provided by food. In this study, flaxseed oil and fish oil as sources of omega-3 in 7 g
and 12 g have been added to wheat flour dough. The production of breads has been done in the traditional way.
Rheological characteristics of bread samples have been determined, the organoleptic properties of omega-3 breads
are maintained for 1, 3, 5 days and evaluated by sensory method. The sensory properties of bread with flaxseed
improved on the first day, but over time, the sensory quality of bread decreased. Bread containing fish oil received
low points in terms of organoleptic and rheological, it was not accepted. Fatty acid profile showed the level of
omega3, DHA, DPA, PUFA, MUFA, ALA and SFA in these two tests did not change for 5 days. .. View more»
