What is sacha inchi oil powder?
Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis), also called the Inca peanut, is an Amazonian seed prized for a seed oil that is naturally one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, together with omega-6 and omega-9. Bionutricia's sacha inchi oil powder converts that oil into a free-handling, light powder by spray-drying it onto an arabic-gum carrier, giving a plant essential-fatty-acid ingredient that disperses in water. Carried across from the seed-oil fatty-acid profile, the powder delivers omega-3 (ALA) ≥22%, omega-6 (linoleic) ≥16% and omega-9 (oleic) ≥4.4%. This is a compositional description of the ingredient; no disease, treatment or health-outcome claim is made or implied. Powdering the oil makes it far easier to weigh, blend and dose than liquid oil — and the arabic-gum emulsification keeps it vegan and dairy-free.
Emulsified on arabic gum — not sodium caseinate
Every oil powder Bionutricia makes is emulsified on arabic gum (acacia) — never sodium caseinate, and never a synthetic emulsifier. This matters: the industry-default carrier, sodium caseinate, is milk-derived, which makes it a declarable Annex II allergen and rules out vegan and dairy-free positioning. Because our sacha inchi oil powder is carried on arabic gum, it can be offered as genuinely vegan, dairy-free and allergen-free — a real formulation advantage for clean-label, plant-based and halal-oriented ranges.
What is it used for in formulation?
It is supplied as a bulk raw ingredient to brand owners and manufacturers, who formulate it into their own finished products: plant-based beverages and milks, protein, energy and sports-drink powders, smoothies, non-dairy creamers, bakery and confectionery, and functional-food powders — as well as capsules, tablets, sachets or any other finished format the brand chooses to produce. The powder is typically used at 2–8% of a formulation, adjusted to the target format, and needs constant stirring when mixed into water.
