Transcriptome analyses reveals the dynamic nature of oil accumulation
Sacha inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis L.) is a shrub native to Amazon rainforests that of commercial interest as its seeds contain 35?0% edible oil (dry weight). This oil is one of the...
Enhancement of omega-3 content in sacha inchi seed oil extracted
Since the oil yields extracted from sacha inchi seeds were comparable with those from other seeds, e.g., sesame seeds (53%) [21], flaxseeds (35–41%) [22],
Techniques for extraction, characterization, and application of oil
Sacha inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis L.) is a plant with star-shaped capsule around 3? mm containing edible dark brown lenticular shaped seeds, germinate between 25 and 30 C temperatures. It is usually grown at altitude between 200 and 1500 m in rainforest of Amazon region of South America that includes parts of Peru and northwestern Brazil.
Determination of oil contents in Sacha inchi (P
For oil determination in Sacha inchi seeds at different developmental stages, immature seeds were dried at 65 °C until constant weight (for about 48 h),
Enhancement of omega-3 content in sacha inchi seed oil extracted
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.
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 (35–41%),and canola seeds
The Effect of Cultivation Conditions on Sacha Inchi
The authors investigated the effect of different cultivation conditions on seed production and oil quality in Sacha Inchi seeds. It is an interesting topic, however, several questions were raised. From the Methods part it is not clear, whether the monthly harvested fruits were pooled together before oil was obtained or did you analyse the Sacha Inchi oil obtained from the seeds harvested
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
The Effect of Cultivation Conditions on Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia
The ratio of Omega-6/Omega-3 in Sacha Inchi oil ranges from 0.81 to 1.09, which is considered to be an ideal ratio of functional food for human health [20?2].
