Abstract
In recent years, seeds and pseudocereals, such as chia, sesame, flax or quinoa, have been incorporated into different food products, improving their nutritional profile and providing benefits for human health due to their composition. However, the addition of these ingredients to new formulations of foods can also contribute to a higher exposure to compounds that are harmful to health such as chemical process contaminants or certain allergens, among others. This review provides an overview about the composition of these ingredients, the benefits/risks associated with their addition in bakery products, and their impact on sensory attributes of these new food formulations.
