Flaxseed Powder Manufacturing Process Flowchart
Flaxseed powder is primarily produced by grinding whole flax seeds. Here is a detailed process:
(High-quality, cleaned flax seeds)
(Removal of any debris, stones, or damaged seeds)
(Sometimes done to reduce enzyme activity and potentially improve flavor)
(Flax seeds are ground into a fine powder using industrial grinders or mills. This step breaks down the tough outer shell, making the nutrients more bioavailable)
(The ground flaxseed is passed through screens to ensure a consistent particle size and remove any larger pieces)
(Testing for moisture content, purity, potential contaminants, and nutritional content)
(The flaxseed powder is packaged into airtight containers or bags to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation)
