Chemical Characterization of Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) Oil

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011
A chemical characterization of the major components, namely, triacylglycerols (TAGs), polyphenols, and tocopherols in a Sacha inchi oil derived from cold pressing of the seed, is hereby reported. To tackle such a task, high-performance liquid chromatography in combination with photodiode array (PDA), fluorescence (RF), and mass spectrometry (MS ...

Solubilization, Fractionation, and Electrophoretic Characterization of Inca Peanut (Plukenetia volubilis L.) Proteins

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2012
Effects of different solvents, ionic strength, and pH on Inca peanut seed protein solubility were assessed by quantitatively analyzing solubilized proteins using Lowry and Bradford methods. Soluble proteins were fractionated using Osborne procedure and the polypeptide composition of solubilized proteins was determined by one dimensional 25 % monomer ...

Synthesis and characterization of sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) oil-based alkyd resin

Progress in Organic Coatings, 2019
Abstract Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) is a wild oleaginous plant of the Euphorbiaceae family that grows in the Peruvian rainforest. The oil obtained from the seeds, which can reach 92% polyunsaturated fatty acid content, has been used as a raw material for the synthesis of alkyd resins.

Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) Nut Oil and Its Therapeutic and Nutritional Uses

2011
Publisher Summary This chapter explores the therapeutic and nutritional usage of sacha inchi nut oil and its applications in health and disease prevention. It was found that the oil contains remarkably high contents of α-linoleic acid and linolic acid. Sacha inchi oil is therefore classified as an edible oil with the highest proportion of unsaturated
