20 Jan 2015 --- Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients has launched its new product, LimaLin Gold, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, thought to have myriad health benefits.
The flour is richer in omega-3, containing 13% versus 8% in the original LimaLin. It is also more neutral in colour as it uses yellow linseed rather than the brown linseed used in LimaLin.
“There is a lack of omega-3 in diets is general in Europe – and yet EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) claims the ingestion of omega-3 contributes to maintaining a healthy blood cholesterol level,” notes Dr Walter Lopez of LCI. “Hence, four years after launching LimaLin, we have extended our ingredient range by the launch of ‘Westhove LimaLin Gold' - a richer omega-3 ingredient.
“Limalin Gold is more neutral in colour as we use yellow linseeds to give a golden/yellow colour, whilst the first LimaLin is made from brown linseed. Also, it is easy to use, is stable for 12 months, has a neutral colour - and there is no impact in texture or taste.
“Lastly, it is a 100% natural ingredient, containing yellow linseeds and wheat flour - and it is non-GMO,” adds Dr Lopez.
