Article Abstract
Introduction: With the increasing demand for protein utilization, exploring new protein resources has become a research hotspot. Sacha Inchi Protein (SIP) is a high-quality plant protein extracted from Sacha Inchi meal. This study aimed to investigate the impact of SIP on mouse metabolomics and gut microbiota diversity and explore the underlying pathways responsible for its health benefits.
Methods: In this study, the structural composition of SIP was investigated, and the effects of SIP on fecal metabolomics and intestinal microorganisms in mice were explored by LC-MS metabolomics technology analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
Results: The results showed that SIP was rich in amino acids, with the highest Manuscript Click here to view linked References content of arginine, which accounted for 22.98% of the total amino acid content; the potential fecal metabolites of mice in the SIP group involved lipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, and amino acid metabolism; SIP altered the microbial composition of the cecum in mice, decreased the / value, and It decreased the abundance of the harmful intestinal bacteria and , and increased the abundance of the beneficial intestinal bacteria .
Discussion: In conclusion, SIP is a high-quality plant protein with great potential for development in lipid-lowering, intestinal health, and mental illness, providing valuable clues for further research on its health-promoting mechanisms.

Sacha inchi shell extract (SISE), whose main active substance is a polysaccharide, has been reported to have hypotensive effects. Consequently, a novel acidic arabinogalactan, termed SISP, was isolated from SISE, and its efficacy in protecting vascular endothelial cells was investigated. SISP had a molecular weight of 57.

High-temperature cooking methods, such as pan-frying, often accelerate lipid oxidation in meat products, negatively affecting their nutritional quality and safety; thus, natural antioxidants, such as those found in sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) leaves, could be beneficial in mitigating this issue. Beef patties were additioned with sacha inchi leaf extracts at concentrations of 0.5%, 1.

Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) seeds are a sustainable, high-quality protein source, with protein content ranging from 24 to 33 %, and up to 62 % in oil-pressed by-products. Protein isolates exhibit molecular weights between 8 and 75 kDa, with key bands in the 20-50 kDa range, reflecting structural diversity. Amino acid analysis confirms the presence of all essential amino acids (EAA), especially histidine, tryptophan, and valine, although lysine and methionine are limiting for certain age groups according to WHO standards.

Sacha inchi (SI) seeds are renowned for their high oil content, with omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids accounting for approximately 85% of the total fatty acids. However, the use of seed by-products has not received much attention in research. The objective of the current study was to assess the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of SI seed shells.
