Omega-3 fatty acids may affect the activity of your medication ( 62, 63). SUMMARYThe small differences between fatty acid profiles in this study and those in the literature may be due to the existing differences in the source, storage conditions, and other variables such as environmental conditions related to soil type, light, temperature, and available nutrients. In particular, Ayerza ( 1995) reported that the variations in the contents of oil as well as oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were affected by the location. However, another study found that chia seeds which grew in different ecosystems in South America showed a significant difference in their oil contents, peroxide value, and fatty acid composition (Ayerza and Coates 2004). It is worth mentioning that the fatty acid profile in this study remained unchanged before and after the stripping of the oil by using the stripped oil by either the stationary phase (2 h) or column stripping (data not reported). Triacylglycerol composition of chia seed oil In recent years, people have become more aware of the impact of diet on health ( Us-Medina, Julio, Segura-Campos, Ixtaina, & Tomás et al., 2018). Therefore, they are in search of food products enriched with compounds which are good for health ( Julio et al., 2015). Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are well-known to have health-promoting effects ( Timilsena, Adhikari, Barrow, & Adhikari, 2017). Of the PUFA family, omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) need to be taken by diet since they cannot be synthesized in the human body ( Timilsena, Adhikari, Barrow, & Adhikari, 2016; Us-Medina, Julio, Segura-Campos, Ixtaina, & Tomás, 2018). Fish oils are commonly consumed as omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), source. Vegetable oils having high EFA content are increasing in popularity compared to fish oils since there are controversies about fish oil usage and vegan people cannot consume fish oils ( Timilsena, Adhikari, et al., 2017). For this reason, fortification of functional foods with plant based-omega-3 fatty acids are becoming an attractive option in the food industry ( Julio et al., 2015). As a possible source of these components, chia seed contains satisfactorily high amounts of omega-3 PUFAs compared to other plant sources ( Marineli et al., 2014).
