Sacha inchi oil yield varies depending on the extraction method, including supercritical CO 2 extraction, semi-continuous supercritical CO 2 extraction, manual cold press, subcritical extraction with n- propane, aqueous enzymatic extraction, and pressurized liquid with intermittent purge.
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 (0–55 MPa) and a pump controller. The maximum pressure used in this study was limited to ≤50 MPa.
Why is Sacha Inchi oil important?
However, the variety of extraction methods and origins of the seeds change the nutrient profiles, antinutrient content, and physicochemical properties. Incorporation of Sacha inchi oil into food products can increase its nutritional value, and it works as a moisturizing agent in cosmetic products.
Which countries export Sacha Inchi products?
Exported Sacha inchi products include oil, toast, powder, seeds, natural, snacks, and capsules, but oil remains the main product in the export markets of South Korea, the United States, Japan, Canada and France (Ramos-Escudero et al. 2019a ).
