| description | Sacha Saha inchi (
Plukenetia volubilis L.), also known as “Inca bean”, is a highly nutritious plant native to the Amazon rainforest and now also cultivated in Indonesia. Many people do not know the benefits of sacha inchi, especially when consumed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritional content, safety for human consumption, and benefits for public health. The methodology used was to process the seeds into oil and run various tests at Saraswanti Indo Genetech Laboratory. The results showed that Sacha inchi oil is rich in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 and ω-6), especially linoleic and α-linolenic acids, which are 80-90% components of the oil. Despite the lack of vitamin A, sodium, and free sugars, the oil has high levels of vitamin E (129.11 mg/100 g). It is significant that no harmful heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic, mercury, tin, lead, or lead were found, and microbiological test results indicate that the oil is safe. According to this study, Sacha inchi oil, with its high nutritional value and safety, is a valuable source of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. According to Sustainable Development Goal 3 for good health and well-being, this oil supports health promotion. |
