Description

Sacha Inchi oil, which comes from a climbing plant native to South America's Amazon basin (scientific name Plukenetia volubilis), contains about 50% α-linolenic. Few nutritional studies have been done on Sacha Inchi oil. Therefore the authors fed a rat feed which contained Sacha Inchi oil and examined the effects on its lipid metabolism. The dosage of Sacha Inchi oil lowered significantly triacylglycerols and total cholesterol ratios in plasma, and also raised the EPA density and HDA ratios in liver lipids. These results suggest that Sacha Inchi oil may be useful in preventing geriatric diseases.
