  • How to extract oil from pumpkin seeds of Kh (Kashi Harit)?
  • Pumpkin ( Cucurbita moschata Duch.) seeds of KH ( Kashi Harit) cultivar were chosen for oil extraction by three different methods cold press extraction (CPE), soxhlet extraction (SE) and mechanical shaking extraction (MSE) method. SE method showed highest oil yield (38.03%) followed by CPE (33.25%) and MSE (26.36%) methods.
  • Which method is used to extract pumpkin seed oil?
  • The values of fatty acid and TAG profile showed less significance in oil extracted by all the methods and squalene content was majorly found in the PSO extracted by CPE method. Extraction by CPE method is recommended to obtain pumpkin seed oil of good stability and posses improved nutraceutical and functional characteristics.
  • What is Pumpkin Seed Oil (PSO)?
  • Moreover, pumpkin seed oil (PSO) has the most remarkable health benefits (Nishimura et al. 2014), and thus it requires effective extraction techniques in order to guarantee a high-quality PSO. Conventional oil extraction is carried out by solvent extraction or pressing. Solvent extraction is usually used for seeds with low lipid content.
  • How is PSO extracted from pumpkin seeds?
  • PSO is generally extracted by expelling the oil from the seeds mechanically. Both hulled and hull-less pumpkin seeds could be used for oil production. The oil from the hull-less seeds is much easier to extract and more commonly processed.
