  • 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 has highest yield in pumpkin seed oil?
  • SE method showed highest oil yield (38.03%) followed by CPE (33.25%) and MSE (26.36%) methods. Peroxide and acid value were found to be least in the CPE pumpkin seed oil (PSO) whereas oil stability index was highest in this oil.
  • Where does pumpkin oil come from?
  • It has been produced in Slovenia, Austria, and Hungary and used as cooking oil in many parts in Africa and the Middle East. The oil content is around 50% and it can be obtained from pumpkin seeds with or without husks using solvent extraction, supercritical CO 2 or cold pressed 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.
