The effects of adding brown linseed at different concentrations (3, 4, and 5%) on physicochemical and sensory attributes of beef burgers were analyzed. Linseed powder increased the protein and fat content and decreased the moisture of the raw burgers and the fat absorption after frying. It also increased the ω3, ω6, ω9 level, PUFA/SFA ratio, and reduced the ω6:ω3 fraction. Improving the cooking yield and water holding capacity were other benefits of this fortification. The linseed did not change the texture and sensory properties of burgers but improved the flavor and general acceptance. Adding the linseed powder to the beef burger formulation is a good way for improving the yield and simultaneously improving the physicochemical property and nutritional value of the beef burger.
