Nutritional Significance Of Salvia Hispanica (chia Seeds)
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Salvia hispanica (Chia seeds), one of the superfoods, rich in omega-3 fatty acids has lately acquired popularity because of its rich nutritional content. The purpose of this article is to understand the chemical composition, biological significance, dietary impact, and remedial properties of Chia. It contains high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, vital amino acids, polyphenols, diabetes resistant, vitamins, and various bio elements. Recent studies have established anti-atherosclerotic, hypotensive, and cardioprotective properties of Chia. The bioactive compounds derived from Salvia hispanica exhibited radical scavenging, liver-protective and anti-inflammatory properties during in-Vitro studies. Increasing demand and popularity of Salvia hispanica in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries calls for a deeper understanding and exploration of its other benefits.
