“…At both the commercial and artisanal levels, cold and screw expeller pressings are the most common processes for the extraction of oil from SI kernels. Although screw pressing procedure yields more oil, however, cold pressing yields superior quality oils, as the thermolabile component, such as the tocopherol, is preserved in higher proportions ( Goyal et al., 2022 ). SIO is mainly composed of lipids and proteins, carbohydrates, including dietary fibre, as shown in Table 2 .…”

Sacha inchi is a source of quality commercial oil in Taiwan. Oil extraction results in sacha inchi residue have not been utilized and not much investigated. Different edible seeds and nuts have different levels of nutrients. This study aims (a) to determine the oil, moisture, ash, protein, carbohydrate, type of fatty acid, resveratrol, and type of sugar in edible seeds and nuts, including sacha inchi residue, and (b) to determine the model to predict the five macronutrients using NIR spectroscopy. The samples used were candlenut, peanut, sesame, sunflower, sacha inchi residue, and black bean. Determination was conducted using NIR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, LC-MS/MS, and HPLC-ELSD. NIR spectroscopy prediction results show that candlenut is rich in oil, and sacha inchi residue is rich in minerals, protein, and moisture. The correct prediction model for oil and moisture is principal component regression, while partial least squares are for ash, protein, and carbohydrates. NMR spectroscopy results showed that all samples were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Sacha inchi residue is rich in omega 3. LC-MS/MS results showed that all samples contained resveratrol, and its highest level was found in sesame. HPLC-ELSD results showed eight types of sugars in the samples. High sucrose was found in sacha inchi residue, sunflower, sesame, and candlenut. The results are expected to provide information on nutrient levels in seeds and nuts to consumers and people who deal with nutrition. Also, results are expected to increase the economic value of sacha inchi residue as a source of diversification of food products in Taiwan.

“…P. volubilis is a highly promising crop, primarily due to the excellent nutritional composition of its seeds [ 13 ]. In the current study, a combination of transcriptomic and proteomic approaches was used to analyze P. volubilis seeds at two developmental stages (the initial stage and the fast oil accumulation stage).…”

“…Plukenetia volubilis Linneo (Euphorbiaceae) is an underutilized oilseed crop with high nutritional values, native to the Amazon basin of South America, and has been traditionally utilized by indigenous Incas since pre-Hispanic times [ 13 , 14 ]. The mature seeds contain approximately 35.0~60.0% lipids, of which more than 90.0% are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).…”

Plukenetia volubilis is a highly promising plant with high nutritional and economic values. In our previous studies, the expression levels of ricin encoded transcripts were the highest in the maturation stage of P. volubilis seeds. The present study investigated the transcriptome and proteome profiles of seeds at two developmental stages (Pv-1 and Pv-2) using RNA-Seq and iTRAQ technologies. A total of 53,224 unigenes and 6026 proteins were identified, with functional enrichment analyses, including GO, KEGG, and KOG annotations. At two development stages of P. volubilis seeds, 8815 unique differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 4983 unique differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified. Omics-based association analysis showed that ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) transcripts had the highest expression and abundance levels in Pv-2, and those DEGs/DAPs of RIPs in the GO category were involved in hydrolase activity. Furthermore, 21 RIP genes and their corresponding amino acid sequences were obtained from libraries produced with transcriptome analysis. The analysis of physicochemical properties showed that 21 RIPs of P. volubilis contained ricin, the ricin_B_lectin domain, or RIP domains and could be divided into three subfamilies, with the largest number for type II RIPs. The expression patterns of 10 RIP genes indicated that they were mostly highly expressed in Pv-2 and 4 transcripts encoding ricin_B_like lectins had very low expression levels during the seed development of P. volubilis. This finding would represent valuable evidence for the safety of oil production from P. volubilis for human consumption. It is also notable that the expression level of the Unigene0030485 encoding type I RIP was the highest in roots, which would be related to the antiviral activity of RIPs. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical properties and expression patterns of RIPs in different organs of P. volubilis and lays a theoretical foundation for further research and utilization of RIPs in P. volubilis.
