Advancing the chemistry, functionality and characterization of chia-derived ingredients.

Characterization

Topics

Our research focuses on advancing the understanding of chia's complex chemistry, functionality, and unique characteristics, providing robust, high-performance ingredients designed to meet the technical demands of modern food formulation.

Fiber functionality & rheology

Exclusive process

MicroTech® chia, function by function.

MicroTech® is Benexia’s exclusive milling technology. It breaks chia into micro-particles — below 435 microns for XIA Fiber and below 125 microns for XIA Protein — without enzymes, solvents or additives, preserving nutrition, flavor and shelf life.

  • No solvents, enzymes or processing aids
  • Retains antioxidant capacity and omega-3 stability
  • Consistent particle size for reliable functionality
