The main components of sacha inchi oil are polyunsaturated fatty acids (α-linolenic acid, linoleic acid), and the main components of olive oil are monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). Alpha-linolenic acid is the core material of life that maintains the running of human brain. It is an important component of human tissue cells. It is essential fatty acids that maintain human body’s functions and maintain good health. The body participates in the synthesis, metabolism and conversion of phospholipids into essential human life factors DHA and EPA; it is the most basic and primitive substance in the process of life. Alpha-linolenic acid has obvious benefits of intelligence growth, vision protection, lowering blood fat, cholesterol, anti-ageing, anti-allergy, anti-cancer. However, Alpha-linolenic acid cannot be synthesized in the human body and must be taken from outside the body. The long-term lack of α-linolenic acid in the human body will lead to the decline of function of brain organs and visual organs and senile dementia, and will cause an increase in the incidence of diseases such as hypertension, hypertension and cancer.

The World Health Organization advocates a ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet of 4:1 or 6:1. In the diet of Chinese residents, the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids is seriously deregulated, and the intake ratio is as high as (25-35):1. The World Health Organization and the Food Organization of the United Nations, in 1993, solemnly issued a statement to the world that in view of the importance of omega-3 fatty acids and the general lack of intake of the human body, it is recommended to supplement omega-3 fatty acids. The reason why olive oil is praised as a healthy edible oil is because the ratio of α-linolenic acid to linoleic acid is close to 1:4. However, the main component of olive oil is oleic acid, oleic acid is a non-essential fatty acid, and the content of α-linolenic acid is comparatively small, which does not regulate the balance of linolenic acid and linoleic acid in the body, so a large amount of supplemental alpha-linolenic acid is needed to achieve the body’s golden ratio.
