“…In agreement with several authors, DC was better than DE because chia is a very rich source of minerals, protein, dietary fiber, and lipids (Ayerza, ; Bushway, Belyea, & Bushway, ; Silveira Coelho & Salas‐Mellado, ). In fact, the nutritional composition of the CS used was similar to other reports, although the lipids content was slightly lower in respect to the average value of 31.11 g/100 g (Bushway et al, ; da Silva et al, ; Romankiewicz et al, ; Silveira Coelho & Salas‐Mellado, ) As expected, most of the fatty acids found in DC and in CS corresponded to those reported in the literature and their amounts (Ayerza, ; Gutiérrez‐Tolentino et al, ; Romankiewicz et al, ; Silveira Coelho & Salas‐Mellado, ); however, this is the first report of butyric acid in a chia‐enriched diet. As butyric acid was not detected in CS, this was probably produced in DC because it is one of the main products of fiber and protein degradation, which are found in high amounts in chia; importantly, butyric acid possesses beneficial metabolic effects and prevents NAFLD (Juárez‐Hernández et al, ; Lyu et al, ).…”
