Descripción
Sumario:Chia seed (Salvia-hispanica-L.) is a Mexican crop that has been traditionally used for medicinal and nutritional purposes. Its nutritional properties have sparked recent interest in its commercialization into to Europe.The Fat Acids profile from chia oil has been described rich in PUFA, mainly ?-linolenic + linolenic, providing a good equilibriumbetween the two essential FA. By the other hand, literature contains few references about the determination of Vitamin E in chia seeds, so the develop of methods in order to determine nutrient antioxidant, such chia tocopherol isomers, should be interesting with healthy human diets purposes.The aim of the present work was to develop a rapid and simple method of liquid-extraction flowed by HPLC for the determination of tocopherols in pseudocereals like chia-seeds, based on the hypothesis that each isomers has different bioavailability and bioactivity.
