(hÄ«drÅl`Ä­sÄ­s) , chemical reaction of a compound with water, usually resulting in the formation of one or more new compounds. The most common hydrolysis occurs when a salt of a weak acid or weak base (or both) is dissolved in water.Water ionizes into negative hydroxyl ions (OH â) and positive hydrogen ions (H +), which become hydrated to form positive hydronium ions (H 3 O +).The salt also breaks up into positive and negative ions.he most common hydrolysis occurs when a salt of a weak acid or weak base (or both) is dissolved in water.

Healthy Eating. Falafel is a balled mixture of fava beans and/or chickpeas with added spices. It is traditional to the Middle East but enjoyed all over the world. It is often served accompanied by pita bread, salad, tahini sauce, hummus or other Middle Eastern foods.
In fact, restaurants are serving up falafel burgers and getting enthusiastic reviews. The ground chickpeas are shaped into patties and served with yogurt, spices, cucumber and lettuce on seeded buns. One small ball is 50-60 calories. A meal-sized falafel sandwich with trimmings on a bun is about 350-450 calories (still less than a Big Mac). A falafel pita complete with creamy dressing is about 550 calories. The great news if you must watch your calories is that falafel is a versatile dish when making it at home.
