奇亚籽粘液因其优异的物理特性可用作工业添加剂。然而，关于这种凝胶的报道并不多，可能是因为它在加工过程中仍然与外壳种子紧密结合。这项工作的目的是通过显微镜、光谱学和图像分析技术来表征奇亚籽的结构和粘液释放。结果表明，粘液是从表皮的多边形细胞中排出的，主要由碳水化合物纤维（宽度18-45 nm）组成。从动力学模型中观察到，粘液释放遵循非 Fickian 过程 (0.5 < n < 1.0)，呈现最佳拟合 Peppas 和 Sahlin 方程 (R-2=0.9984 和 EDM %=0.8)。奇亚籽粘液可用于药物的控制释放，或者由于其纤维的尺寸，可用于生产纳米复合材料。 (C) 2013 年由 Elsevier B.V. 出版
Chia seed mucilage could be used as industrial additive due to its outstanding physical properties. However, not many reports about this gel have been published, maybe due to it remains tightly bounded to the coat seed during processing. The aim of this work was to characterise the chia seed structure and the mucilage release by microscopy, spectroscopy and image analysis techniques. Results showed that the mucilage is excreted from the polygonal cells of the epidermis coat, being composed mainly by carbohydrates fibres (18-45 nm width). It was observed from the kinetic modelling that the mucilage release follows a non Fickian process (0.5 < n < 1.0), presenting the best fitting the Peppas and Sahlin equation (R-2=0.9984 and EDM %=0.8). Chia mucilage could be used for the controlled release of drugs, or, as a result of the size of its fibres, for the production of nanocomposites. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.
