Objective: The aim of this study was to identify fatty acids in a sacha inchi oil sample.
Methods: Sacha inchi oil was obtained of sacha inchi seeds using the cold pressing method. Fatty acids analysis was carried out using the gas chromatography with a mass selective detector and using the database Library NIST14.L to identify the compounds.
Results: Sacha inchi seeds have a high content of unsaturated fatty acids with 34.98% of ɷ6 α- Linoleic and 47.04% of ɷ3 α- Linolenic. Sacha inchi seeds only have 3.98% of palmitic acid.
Conclusions: Sacha inchi seed is a good source of fatty acids É·3 and É·6, being É·3 and É·6 in a good proportion. Sacha inchi oil can be used to elaborate functional foods.
