The book is based on the analysis of chia value chain and summarizes the scientific, technical, and health aspects of chia (Salvia hispanica L.).

User will find advanced information for the utilization of chia-based biomass based on their specific properties, application of eco-efficient technologies for their processing and conversion into a variety of products for different groups of consumers, including those with special needs (e.g. celiac patients, vegans and vegetarians). In addition, the book offers practical guidance on the development of new value chains and their integration within the existing agri-food systems.
