Physicochemical and functional properties of chia seed protein isolate (CPI) were investigated.
Solubility of CPI increased with increase pH, temperature and NaCl concentration.
Foaming properties were strongly dependent on the concentration and pH.
Spray-dried CPI was least denatured among vacuum and freeze dried samples.
Solubility and foaming properties of spray-dried CPI were superior to freeze and vacuum-dried CPI.
