This paper deals with the chemical composition and content of fatty acid in flax and spelt flour. Ratio of essential fatty acids ω-6/ω-3 is also analysed in spelt pasta and pasta with flax flour 10 or 20 %. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry is used for carrying out a quantitative analysis of flour and pasta liposoluble extracts. Compared to spelt, flax flour i characterized with higher content of linoleic acid (ω-3) and lower content of linolenic acid (ω-6) of 57 % and 16 %, respectively, along with superior ω-6/ω-3 ratio that is 1:4. Flax flour in the share of 10 % and 20 % in spelt is positively contributing to the essential fatty acids daily intake recommended by nutritions and the improvement of ω-6/ω-3 ratio.
