Production & description

Sacha Inchi Oil is the oil obtained by cold expression from the seeds of the Inca Peanut (Plukenetia Volubilis L.) growing in the Amazon region.

Sacha Inchi oil cold pressed is a yellow to greenish liquid with characteristic odour and taste. Very slightly soluble in alcohol, miscible with light petroleum.

Sacha Inchi oil cold pressed

Gustav Heess

The production of our cold-pressed Sacha Inchi oil is a process that combines long-standing traditions with modern sustainability. Our production begins deep in the Peruvian countryside, where the "Inca nuts" have been cultivated by the indigenous population for centuries. Working closely with a non-profit cooperative in the Amazon region dedicated to improving the living conditions of growers and reforestation, the seeds are dried in the sun after harvesting. Drying is followed by thorough cleaning of the seeds before they are hulled in the next step. The oil is then extracted using a purely mechanical screw press in order to preserve the valuable ingredients. The crude oil is then filtered to remove natural particles and suspended matter and subjected to a final quality test in the laboratory to guarantee a high-purity cold-pressed Sacha Inchi oil.

Usage

  • Cosmetics

    In the cosmetics industry Sacha Inchi oil can be used especially for the care of inflammatory and dry skin, as well as dry hair, because it is a slow-spreading oil. It helps in regeneration and contributes to the protection of the natural matrix.

    Despite the high content of unsaturated fatty acids the oil is also fortunately relatively stable against oxidation. This is due to the tocopherol (vitamin E) content, which is also very high and whose antioxidant effect ensures a good shelf life.

     

  • Food

    Its range of application extends from its use as a special kind of edible oil for cold dishes, e.g. salad dressings, sauces etc., to its use as a component of functional food. It is excellently suited for omega-3 enrichment in food and meals without negatively influencing shelf life or taste.
