Snacks with different formulations presented significant differences （P 〈 0.05） in their proximate composition, mainly for total lipids and moisture content. Regarding the fatty acids profile, six different fatty acids were found： 16：0, 18：0, 18：1n-9, 18：1n-7, 18：2n-6 （LA） and 18：3n-3. The majority fatty acid was 18：2n-6 （LA） due to the predominance of corn in the products formulation. The incorporation of 18：3n-3 was observed, and this fatty acid was not affected by the extrusion temperature during the processing or the storage time. The results of sensory evaluation indicated that the product developed with addition of golden flaxseed had mild acceptance among the panelists. Thus, it was concluded that the addition of flaxseed is feasible for the nutritional enrichment of corn snacks.展开更多
