Indirect Selection for Seed Yield in Sacha-Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) in Brazil

Horticulturae, 2022
Breeding programs for improvement of sacha-inchi, Plukenetia volubilis L., generally aim to select individuals with greater seed yield since there is a strong correlation between seed yield and oil production. However, the manual removal of seed husks for evaluating this trait is laborious and costly, thereby discouraging breeding efforts. Accordingly,

Safety assessment ofPlukenetia volubilis(Inca peanut) seeds, leaves, and their products

Food Science & Nutrition, 2018
AbstractPlukenetia volubilisor Inca peanut is a promising plant with high economic value. Its seeds can be pressed for oil production or roasted and served as a snack, while the dried leaves can be used to make a kind of tea. Although the oil from the cold‐pressed seeds has been proven to be safe for human consumption, little information is known about

Safety evaluation of Plukenetia volubilis seeds: a metabolomic profiling and network toxicology approach. [PDF]

RSC Adv
The study indicated the absence of saponins, the presence of phytosterols and trigonellin (a pyridine alkaloid), and a low safety risk related to saponin and alkaloid content in the Sacha Inchi seeds.
