Oils such as extra virgin sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) oil, with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega 3 and 6, are highly susceptible to oxidation and the consequent loss of nutritional and organoleptic properties. The present work evaluated ethanolic extract of Lepechinia meyenii and purified rosmarinic acid (AR) from this plant, for possible use as natural antioxidants in sacha inchi oil, in order to preserve functional polyunsaturated fats present in these. In the tests, the substances to be evaluated L. Meyenii extract and AR were compared with the commercial antioxidant butylhydroxytoluene (BTH). All substances were added to samples of extra virgin sacha inchi oil (extracted by cold pressing), then the samples of oils were subjected to oxidation kinetics at 50 °C for fourteen days. During the treatment, samples were taken every other day, to evaluate the degree of oxidation, through standardized tests for peroxide value and conjugated dienes and trienes. Likewise, the oxidation process of the oils was evaluated by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), headspace solid phase microextraction, followed by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (HS-SPME / GC-MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The results reveal that the addition of the L. Meyenii extract to the sacha inchi oil significantly reduces its oxidation, starting from concentrations of 1000 mg / kg; This shows a marked efficacy as an antioxidant to the L. Meyenii extract that contains AR and other antioxidant substances with potential synergistic effect. Based on the results, L. Meyenii extract is suggested as a possible replacement agent for synthetic antioxidants currently used for these oils on a commercial basis.
