Abstract With a long history, flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) is used for many things, mainly for its incredible health benefits. As it is well-known for its profusion of nutrients and health benefits, including -3 fatty acids and antioxidants, it is often consumed to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and menopausal symptoms. Nowadays, flaxseed is recognised as a healthy dietary supplement with several advantages. Along with describing in detail the composition of flaxseed, this paper also focuses on various ways in which flaxseed is consumed. Flaxseed oil, being one form of consumption, is generally found to be more common, due to its various advantages as compared to other DHA oils, including antimicrobial, immunomodulatory effects, benefits against heart disease, etc. This paper also discusses the extraction of flaxseed oil, focusing mainly on mechanical pressing. Yet another form of consumption is flaxseed oil powder, and hence, this paper also discusses the microencapsulation process in detail by comparing various wall materials for the same.
