2.3. Nutritional evaluation of the bread added chia (S. hispanica L.)
flour or seeds
2.3.1. Proximal composition and calorific value
The moisture (method number 935.29), ash (method number
923.03), protein (micro-Kjeldahl method, number 920.87) and total
dietary fiber (method number 985.29) contents of the breads were
determined according to the methods of the Association of Official
Analytical Chemists International e AOAC (2005). The lipid content
(method number 954.02) was determined by acid hydrolysis according
to the AOAC method (2005). The carbohydrate content was
obtained by the difference.
The caloric value of the loaves was calculated using the coefficients
of Atwater (Watt & Merrill, 1963), based on the caloric
coefficients corresponding to the protein, carbohydrate and lipid
contents
