This article presents a comprehensive review of the characteristics, phytochemical profile and health effects of chia seeds. Chia seeds belong to the Lamiaceae family, and are small, oval and colored seeds that grow in tropical and temperate climates. Chia seeds are rich in protein, fiber, minerals, phenolic compounds and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These nutrients give chia seeds functional properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic and prebiotic. Chia seeds may play a potential role in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, digestive system diseases and cancer. Chia seeds can be consumed whole, ground into flour or extracted into oil and added to various foods. Moreover, chia seeds have technological functions such as water retention, emulsification and viscosity enhancement in the food industry. Chia seeds have become a popular functional food in recent years and are being researched. However, more clinical studies and meta-analysis studies are needed on the health effects of chia seeds.

CHIA TOHUMU (SALVIA HISPANICA L.): GENEL BAKIŞ, FITOKİMYASAL PROFİLİ VE SAĞLIK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Bu makale, chia tohumunun (Salvia hispanica L.) özellikleri, fitokimyasal profili ve sağlık üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin kapsamlı bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Chia tohumu, Lamiaceae ailesine ait, tropik ve ılıman iklimlerde yetişen, küçük, oval ve renkli tohumlara sahip bir bitkidir. Chia tohumu, yüksek oranda protein, lif, mineral, fenolik bileşik ve çoklu doymamış yağ asidi içermektedir. Bu besin öğeleri, chia tohumunun antioksidan, anti-inflamatuar, hipolipidemik, hipoglisemik ve prebiyotik gibi fonksiyonel özelliklere sahip olmasını sağlamaktadır. Chia tohumu, kalp-damar hastalıkları, diyabet, obezite, sindirim sistemi hastalıkları ve kanser gibi kronik hastalıkların önlenmesi ve tedavisinde potansiyel bir rol oynayabilir. Chia tohumu, sade olarak, un haline getirilerek veya yağı çıkarılarak çeşitli gıdalara katılabilir. Ayrıca, gıda sanayisinde su tutma, emülsifiye etme ve kıvam artırma gibi teknolojik fonksiyonlara da sahiptir. Chia tohumu, son yıllarda popüler bir fonksiyonel gıda olarak tüketilmekte ve araştırılmaktadır. Ancak, chia tohumunun sağlık etkileri ile ilgili daha fazla klinik çalışma ve meta-analiz çalışmasına ihtiyaç vardır.
