Frequently Asked Questions

What functional properties do chia seeds have in food formulations?
Chia seeds have the ability to absorb water and form a gel-like structure. This allows them to influence the texture of a product, increase viscosity, and improve stability in certain formulations.
In which food products are chia seeds most commonly used?
Chia seeds are used in bakery products, bars and breakfast mixes, functional beverages, desserts, puddings, and plant-based products, among others.
How do chia seeds affect the texture profile of the final product?
When hydrated, chia seeds form a characteristic gelatinous coating that can affect the viscosity and structure of the product, especially in beverages, desserts, and semi-liquid products.
Do chia seeds require pre-treatment before use in production?
Depending on the application, chia seeds can be used directly or after prior hydration. Pre-soaking allows for a gel-like structure to be obtained, which can facilitate texture control and even distribution of the ingredient in the formulation.
Where can I buy chia seeds?
Chia seeds can be purchased through the FDCM platform, which offers raw materials and ingredients used in food, supplements, and animal feed.
