One of the exceptional qualities of the Chia seed is
its hydrophilic properties, having the ability to absorb many times its weight in water, similar to flax seed.
Having tested various varieties of chia seeds, our seeds are selected conditional to
their hydrophilic properties, resulting in superior thickening capabilities in liquids and foods.
As a healthier alternative, chia seeds» unique
hydrophilic properties allow them to absorb up to 12 times their weight, making them the perfect substitute for homemade spreads.
Due to
their hydrophilic properties, chia seeds also promote hydration, which is important for maintaining a healthy weight.
Hydrophilic properties allow Chia Seeds increase in size making them great thickeners in soups and also help you stay hydrated during endurance exercise.

And the egg whites provide some more lift, and are also added in part for their drying
properties since these batter - style gluten free yeast bread doughs require a near - excess of moisture, as traditional gluten free flour blends are
hydrophilic.
The researchers demonstrated the versatility of their approach by using two polymers with radically different material
properties — one hydrophobic and one
hydrophilic — to make their particles.
The researchers believe that in
hydrophilic materials, the attraction for water — a
property known as «wettability» — makes water molecules more difficult to move, contributing to an increase in the fluid's effective viscosity.
By applying a voltage, the wetting
properties of a hydrophobic surface can be modified and the surface becomes increasingly
hydrophilic (wettable).
When a voltage is applied, the wetting
properties of a hydrophobic surface can be modified and the surface becomes increasingly more
hydrophilic (more wettable).
