DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present disclosure relates to dietary composition. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a dietary composition comprising chia seeds base and nutritional agents, and a method of preparation thereof.

BACKGROUND
[002] The popularity and use of dietary supplements are increasing every day. Individuals are looking to improve their overall health and wellbeing, and are now depending on supplements, in addition to a good diet, sleep, and exercise. However, the products available on the market are launched without any due diligence on some important factors, like product composition and dosage, synergy or compatibility of ingredients within the composition, source of the ingredients, nutritional profile, safety, scientific validation, and most importantly, the delivery system and its capability to efficiently administer the active ingredients with maximum bioavailability for the benefit of the consumer.

[003] Most dietary supplements are available in capsule or tablet formats. While the pharmaceutical industry thrives on such delivery systems, dietary supplements often pose a challenge in terms of the correct dose that can be administered. Therefore, a few other delivery formats, such as ready to constitute powders in sachets or tubs are available. These too have their own challenges with respect to lack of consumer convenience, stability, compatibility, and the requirement of the use of excipients or inert active ingredients that do not provide any functional benefit to the consumer.

[004] Chia seeds can provide many health benefits when consumed in the right quantity and in the right way. Chia seeds do contain some anti-nutritional properties, like phytic acid, that can reduce the absorption of minerals like zinc and iron. With appropriate processing, it is possible to reduce anti-nutritional properties and help offer a better nutrition benefit from the product.

[005] CN105558734A discloses a preparation method for a chia seed beverage. The preparation method discloses that, clean chia seeds are sterilized and inactivated; then the chia seeds are pre-soaked in water, the mass ratio of the chia seeds to water is 1:9 to 1:30, water temperature is 5-25?, and soaking is performed for 3-24 h till gel-like covers are formed on the outer sides of the chia seeds adsorbing water; finally, the chia seeds where the gel-like covers are formed are added into natural or artificial seasoning water containing one or more sweetening agents or preservatives; sterilization is performed, and the chia seed beverage is formed.

[006] WO2016114201A1 discloses providing seeds derived from chia seeds and a composition comprising components other than the seeds by adding 5-50 times as much water to chia seeds, thus swelling chia shell polysaccharides constituting the outer periphery of seeds, and then applying a mechanical force to remove the chia shell polysaccharides; a liquid composition comprising as a main component the chia shell polysaccharides other than the seeds; or a powdery composition prepared by drying the liquid composition. In the composition, the lipid content is preferably 0.1-5%, the protein content is preferably 0.1-10%, and the ash content is preferably 0.1-10%.

[007] CA2797579C discloses a method for making baked products, comprising the steps of: hydrating chia seeds to obtain a hydrated chia seed component by forming a mixture of about 10-20% whole unground chia seeds and 80-90% water by weight and allowing the mixture to stand a length of time so that water is absorbed by the seeds, wherein said step of hydrating comprises allowing the mixture to stand at a temperature between about 13°C and 21°C for at least 30 minutes so as to form a hydrated chia colloid; and using the hydrated chia seed component as an emulsifier and texturizer in preparing a baked product, wherein said step of using involves combining the hydrated chia seed component with gluten-free flour ingredients free from any eggs to create a dough or batter, said hydrated chia seed component being combined with the flour ingredients free from any intervening processing such that said hydrated chia colloid gel retains a colloid gel structure as it is combined with flour ingredients, and baking said dough or batter to yield said baked product.

[008] KR20140144853A relates to a method for stably dispersing chia seeds, a composition including chia seeds dispersed thereby, and functional beverage including the same. Existing chia seed-containing products are limited to powder products, which can be drunk by mixing chia seed powder in water or milk as chia seeds become large in volume and have an increased viscosity, thereby having the seeds combined when the seeds are mixed in water and swollen.

[009] KR20170011397A relates to a method of manufacturing a nutrition bar with soft texture containing basil or chia seeds, and a nutrition bar manufactured thereby, and more specifically, to a method of manufacturing a nutrition bar, comprising the following steps of: preparing solid materials containing one or more seeds selected from a group including basil seed and chia seed, and one or more materials selected from a group including dried grain, dried fruit, and nuts; mixing oil and fats with a sugar solution to manufacture a binder solution; and mixing the solid materials and the binder solution to manufacture the nutrition bar, and a nutrition bar manufactured thereby.

[0010] US20020168431A1 relates to a method of treating metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, or hypoglycemia in a patient and includes providing chia seeds, having a seed body, adding water to the chia seeds to form a gel, separating the seed body from the gel, extracting a water-soluble fiber including a polysaccharide from the gel, and delivering a therapeutic amount of the fiber to the digestive tract of the patient.

[0011] US20090181114A1 discloses a beverage that is effective for enhancing gastrointestinal regularity and heart health. It is formed by a liquid comprising fruit derived juices, water or naturally or artificially flavored water. A composition of matter is mixed within the liquid in a shelf stable pasteurized beverage form and formed from sterilized whole seed extracted from Salvia hispanica L. The resulting beverage exhibits a pH dependent viscosity requiring no additional thickening agents and suitable as a beverage for human consumption.

[0012] Prior-art documents suggest the use of chia-gel and focus on the extraction of the chia gel from the chia seeds. However, they fail to utilize this base to deliver nutrients and actives to the consumer, as specific steps need to be followed to achieve a unique, uniform, stable, and efficacious product.

[0013] Despite all prior efforts, there is a need to provide an improved method for preparing a chia seeds base from the chia seeds and to provide an improved dietary composition by using the chia seeds base to deliver nutrients, bioactive, and dietary fibre to a biological system.
