Flax Oil – Rich in Omega 3
Flax oil, one of the richest plant based sources of Omega 3. It is considered by many researchers, scientists, and nutritionists as the most important health promoting supplement next to vitamins. Flax oil, as an added ingredient, can boost Omega 3 of processed foods.
OmegaLit-3 is produced through state of art technology;it is pure, fresh, and pleasant tasting.OmegaLit-3 flax oil has shelf stability without refrigeration which other manufacture cannot replicate. OmegaLit-3 flax oil is used by our customers as an added ingredient to spreads, beverages, and dairy products to enhance nutrition values. It is an ideal choice due to its purity, pleasing flavor profile, and the ability to withstand the pasteurization process.
OmegaLit-3 flax oil is especially effective for Omega 3 fortification of dairy products. When flax oil is mixed with whey protein rich dairy products, the Omega 3 rich flax oil will chemically bond to form lipoproteins which help to stabilize the flax oil from rancidity. The sulphurated amino acids methionine and cysteine in whey protein are powerful emulsification agents and will emulsify the flax oil making it soluble in water and stable from rapid oxidation. The resulting lipoproteins formed make the Omega 3 in the flax oil highly bio-available during digestion.

Flax Meal-Rich in Omega 3 (30.000 mg per pack), Vegetable Protein and Fiber. It is Gluten Free!
Flax meal is used widely in baked products such as flax bread and muffins.Flax meal is also ideal for gluten-free formulations of tortillas, pasta,pizza and many other food products that need a high fiber, gluten-free alternative.
Flax meal acts like flour in baking and canreplace flours in recipes up to 20%. Flax meal is an ideal ingredient to fortify products with Omega-3, protein, soluble and insoluble dietary fiberincluding lignans. As an ingredient it can also improverheological characteristics in baking formulations, because it absorbs up to 13 times its weight in water, it is an effective, functional hydrocolloid. The ability of flax meal to bind water in recipes makes for a softer product for products such as tortillas. The lignans and polyphenols in flax meal are naturally occurring antioxidants that enable longer shelf life.
Flax meal adds nutritional quality, as well as texture, when used as an ingredient.
