Sacha Inchi Protein Powder

Asia Eco Farm's Sacha Inchi protein powder is defatted, gelatinized and milled from Plukenetia volubilis seeds grown on our own certified organic farms in Malaysia and Laos. At approximately 60% protein by weight, it is one of the highest-concentration plant proteins available — and unlike soy or pea protein, it delivers all 9 essential amino acids without the top-8 allergen concerns that now complicate label compliance in most major markets.

Amino Acid Profile — All 9 Essential Amino Acids

Sacha Inchi protein contains all nine essential amino acids in a single ingredient — the reason formulators look at it against pea protein, which is limited in methionine, and rice protein, which is limited in lysine. Unlike those two, it needs no second protein to close a gap on the amino acid table.

Applications & Market Segments

Sacha Inchi Protein vs. Other Vegan Proteins

Sacha Inchi protein fills a specific market gap: it is the only commercially available plant protein that is both allergen-free and provides a complete essential amino acid profile without blending with another protein source. For brands targeting consumers with multiple dietary restrictions (soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan), Sacha Inchi protein removes a significant formulation challenge.

Formulation Notes

Blending

Sacha Inchi protein blends well in cold or room-temperature liquids. It is not fully soluble — expect a slight sedimentation in clear beverages unless combined with an emulsifier (sunflower lecithin at 0.5–1% is the standard clean-label choice). In opaque shakes and smoothies, texture is smooth with no grit at ≤30 g per serve.

Flavour Masking

Unlike pea protein, Sacha Inchi protein does not require heavy flavour masking in chocolate or vanilla formulations. In unflavoured products, the mild nutty note can be a positive differentiator rather than a liability.

Label Claims

The following claims can typically be substantiated with Sacha Inchi protein powder (confirm with local regulatory counsel per market):

• Complete plant protein / all essential amino acids
• Vegan / plant-based protein
• USDA Organic (with appropriate certification chain)
• Soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, allergen-free
• Non-GMO
• Source of Omega-3 (residual ALA in fat fraction)

EU Novel Food Note

As of 2026, EU Novel Food authorisation covers Sacha Inchi oil but not Sacha Inchi protein powder. EU buyers should obtain regulatory confirmation before launching protein powder products in EU member states. Non-EU markets (UK post-Brexit, ASEAN, USA, Australia, Canada) do not face this restriction. Contact us — we can provide supporting regulatory documentation for your market application.

Quality & Traceability

Every batch originates from our own certified organic farms — no commodity sourcing from third-party brokers. Seeds are cold-pressed on-site, the press cake is milled and sieved in our GMP-certified facility, and each lot is tested before release. Shipment documentation includes:

• Lot-level Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — proximate analysis, fatty acid profile, microbiology
• Organic transaction certificate (USDA and/or Laos Organic)
• Allergen declaration
• Non-GMO statement
• Phytosanitary and export documentation
• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
