Screw press extraction of Sacha inchi seeds: Oil yield
In this work, the effects of operating parameters, such as drying temperature (60, 75, 90 C) and press head temperature (60, 75, 90 C), on oil yields from Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L
Screw press extraction of Sacha inchi seeds: Oil yield
Screw press extraction is a cost-efficient method, requiring a shorter extraction time than solvent extraction process and leaving no solvent residues in the oil product. Here, a single screw press machine at different press head temperatures was used to extract oil from Sacha inchi seeds.

Enhancement of omega-3 content in sacha inchi seed oil
Since the oil yields extracted from sacha inchi seeds were comparable with those from other seeds, e.g., sesame seeds (53%) , flaxseeds (35?1%) , and canola seeds (39?8%) , the production of sacha inchi oil could be commercially viable, considering the further requirement of healthy oils with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids.
Techniques for extraction, characterization, and application
The nutrient contents of SIS are presented in Table 1. The moisture content of SIS is ranged from 0.7 to 6.8%. The moisture content of SIS shows a slightly differences from sunflower (6.3%), moringa (6.9%), breba (4.2%), and cashew seeds (5.9%) [32, 33]. The differences in moisture contents of SIS reported in varScienceDirect
Determination of oil contents in Sacha inchi (Plukenetia
It is also remarkable that oil accumulation during Sacha inchi seed development (Fig. 2 B) shows a similar profile to that of seed dry weight gain (Fig. 1 F). This is confirmed by a significant positive correlation ( R = 0.985) between oil content and dry weight of seeds during seed development ( Fig. 2 D).
Enhancement of omega-3 content in sacha inchi seed oil
2.4. Analysis of the extracted sacha inchi oil The lipid compositions of sacha inchi oils extracted with solvents and supercritical CO 2 were analyzed by GC (Agilent 6890N model, USA) equipped with a flame ionization detector and a Supelco
Enhancement of omega-3 content in sacha inchi seed oil
Sacha inchi oil could be extracted from the seeds by various methods, i.e., cold pressing, conventional extraction using polar and non-polar solvents, and enzymatic extraction. Cold pressing process produces mainly crude oil; therefore, further purification processes, i.e., sedimentation of impurities and filtration, are necessary.
