(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.
The origin of falafel is unknown and controversial. A common theory is that the dish originated in Egypt, possibly eaten by Copts as a replacement for meat during Lent. As Alexandria is a port city, it was possible to export the dish and name to other areas in the Middle East.
