Substances with strong antioxidant properties such as wild oregano have a positive impact on human health, therefore attracting the attention of scientists, consumers and food industry experts.This paper investigates the effects of simultaneous addition of dry residue of wild oregano (0.5 % and 1 %), on the physical and colour properties of corn flakes to obtain new products with altered nutritional properties. Post-hoc Tukey’s HSD test at 95 % confidence limit showed significant differences between various samples. Addition of dry residue wild oregano positively influenced phisical characteristics (decreased bulk density 30.2 %, increased expansion rate 44.9 %), influenced of decrease hardness 38.1 % and work of compression 40.3 % also significantly change the color of flakes product. Presented data point that investigated corn flakes is a new product with good phisical and sensory properties due to higher level of dry residue of wild oregano.
