  • Does roasting Sacha Inchi seeds improve oil extraction?
  • These results indicated that sacha inchi seeds are a vital oil source, and roasting advances the extraction yield of oil through pores in the oil seed cell walls, which smoothens the movement of oil from the oilseed during subsequent extraction.
  • What is the acid value of Sacha Inchi seed oil?
  • The Sacha inchi seed oil obtained from unroasted seeds after pressing had the lowest acid value (0.43 ± 0.04 mg KOH g −1 oil) compared to the oil produced from lightly, medium, and highly roasted seeds (3.72 ± 0.06, 9.40 ± 0.1, and 12.32 ± 0.31 mg KOH g −1 oil, respectively) (Cisneros et al. 2014).
  • How to cook Sacha Inchi?
  • In another study, three types of cooking processes were analyzed: uncooked, roasted at 160 °C for 6 min, and boiled at 100 °C for 13 min. The results indicate that roasted sacha inchi is distinguishable by its high antioxidant content (polyphenol, flavonoid, and free radical scavenging activity) .
  • How to extract Sacha Inchi oil?
  • Sacha inchi oil yield varies depending on the extraction method, including supercritical CO 2 extraction, semi-continuous supercritical CO 2 extraction, cold press, subcritical extraction with n- propane, aqueous enzymatic extraction, and pressurized liquid with intermittent purge.
  • What are the characteristics of Sacha Inchi oil?
  • Sacha inchi oil yield, bioactive compounds, and physicochemical qualities are affected by cultivation area, seed chemical profile, extraction method, and conditions. Sacha inchi oil contains high amounts of linolenic and linoleic acid. Sacha inchi seeds contain heat-labile and heat-stable antinutrients, which are found in traces in the oil.
  • What is the roasting process of Sacha Inchi seeds?
  • The roasting process of sacha inchi seeds plays a crucial role in snack production. This process involves subjecting the seeds to temperatures ranging between 80 and 120 °C, which enhances their flavor and aroma while eliminating undesirable tastes resulting from the presence of compounds such as tannins, saponins, and phytic acid [17, 18].
