Bioactive, technological and sensory properties of wheat and rice breads added of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) protein hydrolyzate were evaluated. The hydrolyzate was added to breads at concentrations of 1, 3 and 5 mg of hydrolyzate/g of flour. The specific volume, total score, bread crumb firmness, color, sensory analysis and antioxidant activity of breads were evaluated. The results showed that the protein content of the protein concentrate (79.56%) increased significantly compared with the defatted chia flour (32.52%). The results of antioxidant activity of chia protein hydrolyzate showed that at 0.50 and 1.0 mg of hydrolyzate/mL showed the highest values of activity by the DPPH method (66.09 and 65.43%). However, the chia protein hydrolyzate at 0.5 mg/mL presented the highest activity with a value of 83.74% by ABTS method. The reducing power results indicated that the hydrolyzate showed a dose-dependent relation since an increase from 0.50 to 2.00 mg/mL resulted in a significant increasing from 0.380 to 0.881 in absorbance. The addition of chia hydrolyzate resulted in good technological characteristics and antioxidant properties, in both breads. The breads with 3 mg of chia hydrolyzate/g flour had good sensory characteristics, which were not lower than those of the control breads.
