The potential of pumpkin seeds as a functional food ingredient: A
The foods that qualify this diet-health relationship are known as functional foods [13]. Plants are natural sources of bioactive compounds and are widely used as functional food ingredients. The pumpkin seeds, like other seeds, are rich in functional components. They are high in vitamin E (tocopherols), carotenoids, provitamins [18], pigments
They have been increasingly demonstrated to be a viable and renewable source of healthy dietary fatty acids and other bio-active compounds. Seed oils exhibit great multiplicity in their fatty acids, tocopherols, phospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterols compositions depending on the plant species. Essential fatty acids, such as omega-3
Namibia's Agri-Revolution: Seed Processing Plants Set to Transform
Namibia is poised for an agricultural transformation of epic proportions with the issuance of a tender for the design and construction supervision of seed processing plants across five strategic regions. This visionary initiative aims to bolster domestic seed production, reduce costly imports, and fortify the nation’s agricultural self-reliance. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Water and Land
Nowadays, agricultural waste byproducts are exploited in the food industry rather than discarded. Pumpkin is one of the most significant vegetable crops that is widely consumed in farmland and certain urban regions. The current study was designed to measure the phytochemical constituents, food application, health benefits, and toxicity of pumpkin and pumpkin byproducts. Pumpkins and pumpkin
Chemical composition and bioactive compounds of Cucurbitaceae seeds
Pumpkin seeds oil are rich in biologically active substances such as a source of tocopherols, carotenoids, especially β-carotene, lutein and other compounds. Also four fatty acids – palmitic, … Expand
Various factors significantly affect and modulate the levels of different bioactive compounds in pumpkin seed oil such as genotypic differences, the extraction technique, the applied agricultural practices, the climatic conditions, as well as the production and storage conditions (Nawirska-Olszanska et al. 2013) In addition, the quality of processed pumpkin seed oil is largely influenced by
Bioactive Phytochemicals from Pumpkin Seed Oil-Processing By-Products
The carbohydrate level of all cookies with hull-less pumpkin seed oil press-cake flour was much lower than that of brown rice and whole-wheat flour cookies (9.5–36.8%). With the addition of hull-less pumpkin seed oil press-cake flour (PCF), the protein content of samples 1 and 4 increased significantly (10–40% of added PCF).
Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seed oil is a common salad oil which is produced in Slovenia, Hungary and the southern parts of Austria. It is dark green and has a high content of free fatty acids. The …
Pumpkin fruit, seed and oil yield is independent of fruit or seed
Summer pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) is an herbaceous plant with big fruits and oily seeds. Photosynthetic oxygen release was previously proposed to promote storage activity of seeds under internal hypoxia, in particular in oilseeds. Photosynthetic activity or any other function of chlorophylls from pumpkin seeds has never been demonstrated.
A well-known, nutrient-rich, multipurpose food, pumpkin has recently provided scientists with new avenues for research. In addition to proteins, carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, and a variety of phytochemicals, the pumpkin fruit, comprising the flesh, seed, and peel, is a rich source of primary and secondary metabolites.
