<b>Sacha inchi as potential source of essential fatty acids and tocopherols: multivariate study of nut and shell</b> - doi: 10.4025/actascitechnol.v35i4.19193

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The present study investigated the fatty acid composition, tocopherols and nutritional factors in the nut and shell of Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) through multivariate data analysis. The nut showed a high lipid content (48.5%), while the shell showed a low content (1.2%), although both parts of the plant had similar fatty acid composition. Low contents of saturated fatty acids were found in both parts, indicating anti-atherogenic, anti-thrombogenic and hypercholesterolemic effects. The content… Show more

“…The column temperature was maintained at 165 °C for 4 min, increased to 185 °C at 4 °C min -1 and maintained for 5 min, then increased from 185 °C to 225 ºC at 10 °C min -1 and maintained for 10 min. The same chromatographic conditions were used previously to analyze other plant foods (Souza et al, 2013).…”

“…It is commercially cropped in the Peruvian Amazon, and Brazil has potential to produce this plant. Its seeds contain 24 to 29% protein, nearly 41.4% oil (Gutiérrez et al 2011;Souza et al 2013;Rodriguez et al 2015) and high levels of vitamin A and E (Fanali et al 2011), making it suitable for dietary use. In addition, sacha inchi oil is highly nutritious, containing 45% omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (linolenic acid) (Guillén et al 2003;Céspedes 2006;Clavijo et al 2015).…”
