The Sacha Inchi oil is the richest in unsaturated fat acids; it reaches up to 93:6%. It is the oil with the biggest content of polyunsaturated because it reaches an average of 48.6% of essential fat acid alfa linoleic omega 3; 36,8% of essential fat acid alfa linoleic omega 6 and 8.28% of oleic acid omega 9. Additionally it has the lowest content of fat acids saturated, 6.39% on average, 3.85% of palmitic and 2.54% of stearic.

By its nature, the technology applied to the ecological farming and by its industrial extraction procedure, it is high quality oil for the consumption and for the health. It is the best oil for human home consumption, industrial, cosmetic and medicinal; exceeding all oils currently used such olive oil, sunflower oil, soy oil, corn oil, palm oil and peanut oil, etc.
It has many uses, like cholesterol reducer, salad oil and in the alimentary industry to enrich with omega 3 the food industrially produced food, in the make up production, nutriceutic and in medicine.

THE OMEGA OILS

The omega oils are the fat acids oleic Omega 6 and the Omega 3: alfa linoleic eicosapenthanoic (EPA) and docosaexaenoic (DH). The Omega 9 and the Omega 6, are found abundantly within many foods consumed by the men in their diet, not only from an animal source but also a vegetal source.
The Omega 3 oils are naturally very scarce and they are very necessary for the life and the health, so they must be always presents in our diet specially Omega 3 alfa linoleic since it cannot be synthesize by the body from the food ingested. It is called essential fat acid alfa linoleic.
The Omega 3 EPA and DH are founded in the algae, some cold water fishes and the human body synthesizes by elongation processes the fat acids EPA and DHA from essential fat acids linoleic and linolenic” (source: Marino Villavicencio Núñez, Bioquímica I, 1996)

The body by assimilating the essential fat acids linoleic and alfa linolenic, it elongates them, transforming the carbon 18-atoms chain with double bond into a 20-atoms with 5 bonds and produces the fat acid Eicosapenthaenoic EPA and the chain of alfa linolenic elongates it form 18 atoms with 3 double bonds to 22 atoms with 6 double bonds and produces the fat acid Docosahexaenoic DHA. Theses fat acids are called Omega 3

IMPORTANCE OF THE OMEGA 3 IN THE HEALTH AND UN THE FOOD INGESTION

The essential fat acids linoleic omega 6 and the omega 3 alfa linolenic and their derivatives EPA and DHE, synthesized by the body from them, are vital to prevent and keep the health.
They accomplish a control function and reduce cholesterol, accumulated by the saturated fats, which is the principal cause of mortality throughout the world. Also, they are essentials for the formation of the nervous tissues (myelination) and the ocular tissue.
More than the half of the fat of the brain is Omega 3; it is involved in the formation of the structure of the cellular membranes, it carries the nutrients through the blood current, it contributes to keep the metabolism equilibrium.
Some hormones are produced from the essential fat acids, accomplishing very important functions like in the regulation of arterial pressure, the regulation of the renal functions, the addition of the blood platelets. And they are basic for the blood coagulation, whose are important in the inflammatory process and in the allergic answer.

The natural food ingestion used to allow and adequate equilibrium for the health, currently some inappropriate agricultural management and other commercial priorities for the production of food, using high temperatures, the adding of chemicals and synthetics substances, the food has been deteriorated.
The experts suggest a ratio of four parts of Omega 6 for one part of Omega 3 in the human diet. The modern changes in the human food ingestion habits and the selection of nutrients according to the inadequate gastronomical priorities, have unbalanced the healthy ingestion of healthy fats, which makes rare the presence of Omega 3.
It achieves extreme cases a ratio of 100 to 1, which causes as a result a broken health. And unfortunately the excess of the Omega 6 make worse the lack of equilibrium, taking the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides to a high level.
Opposite to the Omega 6, the Omega 3 or PUFAs accomplish vital functions for the body among we have ensuring the evolution and positive function of nerves, eyes, skin, brain and the blood current. The shortage of essential fat acids, the lack of equilibrium of its ratio and specially the lack of Omega 3 are the beginning of many unbalances in the metabolism.
This bring a resulting indisposition, sicknesses, crisis and health accidents, visual alterations and peripheral neuropathy, cancer, etc.

The medical science warms every time with much emphasis the convenience of eating less animal fats in order to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood and also for the risk of being affected by hearts diseases. It is observed a constant inclination to a major consumption of vegetal oils unsaturated.
The Sacha Inchi, compared to the other oleaginous seeds, contents the lowest rate of saturated fats.
Before this advantage of the Omega oils and because the human consumption of the food where they are founded is very low, the scientists recommend products enriched with Omega 3. The enrichment is performed adding omega 3 in the elaboration process of the food, however, before logically it is necessary to produce and extract the Omega 3 from natural sources. The Sacha Inchi is the richest natural source in the alfa linolenic essential fat acid, omega 3.
