Advancement of microbial reduction and techno-functional properties of oxidateively decontaminated and stored flax seed.

Crop Types
  • Flax
Collaborating Locations

This project is aimed at bridging the knowledge gap that exists in regard to the mechanisms and optimal conditions for the advanced oxidative decontamination of flaxseed. The outcomes of the project will add value to the Canadian flaxseed through lowering its microbial load following harvest and during storage, while keeping its techno-functionality intact

Objectives

  1. Quantify microbial reduction change and techno-functional properties of flaxseed meal after advanced oxidative process (AOP) decontamination
  2. Optimize the application parameters and establish safe AOP decontamination guidelines and limits for the food industry.
