  • What is Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis)?
  • Kumar B, Smita K, Cumbal L, Debut A (2017) Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) shell biomass for synthesis of silver nanocatalyst. J Saudi Chem Soc 21:293¨C298 Lauritzen L, Hansen HS, Jørgensen MH, Michaelsen KF (2001) The essentiality of long chain n-3 fatty acids in relation to development and function of the brain and retina.
  • Which hydraulic oil press machine is used to extract Sacha Inchi oil?
  • The hydraulic oil press machine (BY-180, Henan Beyrong Machinery Co.,Ltd., Shanghai, China) was used for extracting the sacha inchi oil (SIO). The machine, as depicted in Figure 1, consisted of a generator with adjustable pressure (0¨C55 MPa) and a pump controller. The maximum pressure used in this study was limited to ¡Ü50 MPa.
  • How high does Plukenetia volubilis grow?
  • Plukenetia volubilis thrives at altitudes ranging from approximately 200 to 1500 m [1, 2]. Regarding seasonal variations, diverse irrigation systems, and fertilization techniques, sacha inchi seeds (SIS) typically yield around 150¨C750 kg/ha . SIS are rich in oil content, ranging between 48 and 50%, and protein content, between 27 and 28% .
  • What is Plukenetia volubilis?
  • Plukenetia volubilis is an underutilized crop with a large untapped potential. It has an excellent nutritional composition with high amounts of essential fatty acids, seems to have a good sensory acceptability, is easily cultivated and propagated, and has numerous potential gastronomic, medicinal, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
  • When was Plukenetia volubilis cultivated?
  • Plukenetia volubilis may have been kept in cultivation by the Incas as early as 3000¨C5000 years ago and the occurrence of cultivated species on different continents indicate that at least two independent ancient domestication events have taken place (Brack 1999; Cardinal-McTeague et al. 2019).
  • Does ultrasonic extraction improve Sacha Inchi oil yield?
  • The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the oil yield of the sacha inchi samples among the various extraction methods (p > 0.05). However, the extraction time required for ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and conventional extraction (CE) using n-hexane and ethanol was approximately double that of HCPE.
