Abstract: In Brazil, sacha inchi oil is produced by hand from plant materials with no breeding or detailed information about the chemical composition of seeds. In addition, most of the current information on the agronomic traits of this species originates from research carried out in the Peruvian Amazon. In order to promote the research and cultivation of sacha inchi in the Brazilian territory, this study aimed to analyze, in the central Amazon region, different accessions of this oilseed for characteristics of producti… Show more

“…Sacha inchi is a new crop that has gained prominence due to its nutritional and nutraceutical benefits. The oil extracted from the seeds contains higher levels of protein, vitamin E and essential fatty acids than those obtained from other oilseeds such as peanut, soybean and sunflower (Hamaker et al 1992, Follegatti-Romero et al 2009, Valente et al 2017a). Sacha inchi is still being studied by the pharmaceutical industry and, due to its rapid growth and good soil cover, it has characteristics favorable to reforestation and protection of slopes (Bordignon et al 2012).…”

“…In Brazil, despite the increasing number of studies carried out on sacha inchi in recent years (Rodrigues et al 2013, Cardoso et al 2015, Valente et al 2017aand 2017b, the plant is still in the semiwild condition, although it has a great potential for development in the Amazon region. Research in several areas are needed in order improve the crop.…”

“…A planta é uma trepadeira da família das euforbiáceas, com grande potencial para aplicações nas indústrias alimentar e farmacêutica (Krivankova et al, 2007), cujas sementes são ricas em óleos insaturados, ácido graxo α-linolénico (ômega-3) e linoléico (ômega-6) (Follegatti-Romero et al, 2009;Valente et al, 2017), que são ácidos graxos essenciais não sintetizados pelo organismo humano, sendo necessária sua ingestão. Vale ressaltar que outras espécies desta família são ótimos exemplares da alta capacidade de obtenção de óleo, destacando a mamona (Ricinus communis L.) e o pinhão-manso (Jatropha curcas L.) (Santos et al, 2011).…”

“…Apesar da espécie se propagar geralmente por via seminal, o que ocasiona um plantio desuniforme e dificulta a expansão das áreas de plantio (Valente et al, 2017), a propagação in vitro pode promover avanços em seus cultivos, possibilitando maior precocidade e aumento na produção de frutos e sementes (Rodrigues et al, 2014). A germinação in vitro também pode fornecer explantes livres de contaminações que muitas vezes são difíceis de serem obtidos nos cultivos tradicionais.…”
