Chia expeller is a by-product of the extrusion process of chia seeds generated during oil production. Typically, this material is non-utilized or used for non-valuable applications. In the present work, the chia expeller was hydrolysed with Papain and the antioxidant properties of the resultant peptides were evaluated. Papain treatment of the chia seed expeller demonstrated an enrichment of low molecular weight peptides (molecular weight
