NR: not reported; ND: not detected; a: extraction of flaxseed gum was performed at 30, 50, 70 and 90 °C, the range of the values is determined by the lowest and the highest values obtained within the extraction by different temperatures; b: for the study were used three flax cultivars—NorMan, Omega and Foster, the range of the values is determined by the lowest and the highest value obtained within single cultivars.
