Beltran-Orozco MC, Romero MR. La Chia, Alimento Milenario, Departamento de Graduados e Investigacion en Alimentos. IPN, Mexico: ENCB; 2003. [ Google Scholar] Chia seeds and oil contain a relatively high amount of natural antioxidants such as tocopherols and carotenoids, as well as phytosterols (Ixtaina et al. 2011). The phenolic compounds in chia include caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, myricetin, kaempferol, and quercetin (Reyes-Caudillo et al. 2008; Capitani et al. 2012; Rahman et al. 2017). These phenolics play an important role in protecting against many diseases and promoting human health (Nijveldt et al. 2001).

Phytic acid content

High protein intake is associated with increased fullness after meals and reduced food intake ( 24, 25).Ahmed M, Hamed R, Ali M, Hassan A, Babiker E.

[ Google Scholar] During 120min period, oral and gastric digestion were completed. Since the wall materials were not composed of protein structured materials, oil release was low and this protected capsule degradation before intestinal phase. Timilsena, Adhikari, et al. (2017) encapsulated chia seed oil into chia seed protein-gum complex, and subjected the capsules to in-vitro digestion. Oil release in the gastric phase was found to be high, which was interpretted to the enzymatic protein decomposition during digestion. Studies in humans and animals have shown that chia seeds may raise blood levels of ALA up to 138% and EPA up to 39% ( 21, 44, 45, 46, 47). Improved blood sugar control A low ratio is associated with a lower risk of various chronic conditions — such as heart disease, cancer, and inflammatory diseases — and a lower risk of premature death ( 15, 16). A single ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds boasts 11 grams of fiber, which is a significant portion of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for women and men — 25 and 38 grams per day, respectively ( 6).

Where C is the concentration of the solution (g/100 mL), A is the absorbance of the solution at 234 nm, and d the length of the cell (Abuzaytoun and Shahidi 2006b).

Who should use it: Mudgil says thanks to its versatility, chia seed oil, in general, offers benefits for all skin types.Russak adds that anyone with sensitive, inflamed, and dehydrated skin would particularly benefit from chia seed oil in their routine, and it even works well for irritated and oil-prone skin.
