Abstract:

The objective of the study was to carry out a chemical characterization and to quantify the fatty acid profile of Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) to be used as raw material, in the elaboration of diets for animal use. The research was developed with samples of the seed meal with and without the Sacha inchi capsule, acquired from the unused waste for export from the “Huamboya” collection center, located in the Amazon province of Morona Santiago in Ecuador. The determination of the chemical composition was analyzed the nutrients of: dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM); crude protein (CP); crude fiber (FB); grease; Nitrogen-free extracts (ELN); gross energy (EB) in the laboratory of the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIAP). The fatty acid profile (Saturated; Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated) was determined in the Laboratory of Analisis de Alimentos AVVE S.A., through the liquid chromatography / PDA technique. Sacha inchi seed flour with and without capsule from crops in the Huamboya canton, Morona Santiago Province, has an adequate protein for the swine species, as well as the fiber, fat and energy content are acceptable, to be used in The preparation of diets for Creole pigs in the growth and final fattening stage, in addition to the flour from the Sacha inchi seed with and without capsule, are an important source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly α-linolenic acid (C18: 3 ω - 3) and linoleic acid (C18: 2 ω-6), which could provide beneficial effects due to their nutritional qualities and nutritional value, to be considered in the inclusion of diets for animal feed.
