The main by-product of false fl ax seeds are cakes, obtained after seed oil pressing, which can be exploited as a fatand protein-rich ingredient for animal nutrition [Berti et al., 2016]. However, false fl ax cake has also recently been considered as a valuable source of phenolic compounds for a potential use in selected foods or food formulations [Terpinc et al., 2012b; Rahman et al., 2018a, b]. C. sativa cake contains more phenolic compounds than its oil. Terpinc et al. [2012a] reported that the total phenolic content (TPC) in oil and cake was 9.1 and 1666 mg chlorogenic acid eq/100 g of dry matter (DM), respectively. The phenolic compounds identifi ed in cake and defatted meal included mainly fl avonoids and hydroxycinnamic acids [Terpinc et al., 2011; Rahman et al., 2018a]. Sinapine, the ester of sinapic acid and choline, has often been determined as the main phenolic compound in false fl ax cake or meal [Salminen et al., 2006; Terpinc et al., 2011]. Hydroxybenzoic acids have also been identifi ed [Terpinc et al., 2012a; Rahman et al., 2018a], although Salminen et at. [2006] did not fi nd them in false fl ax seed meal. Condensed tannins are another class of phenolic compounds that have been determined in false fl ax cake [Matthäus & Zubr, 2000]. Rahman et al. [2018a] identifi ed several procyanidin dimers among these tannins. The phenolic compound profi le of false fl ax cake determines its signifi cant antioxidant activity [Matthäus, 2002; Quezada & Cherian, 2012]. Rahman et al. [2018b] showed
