Evaluation of seed yield, oil, and fatty acid ratio in
The experiment was implemented to examine three factors’ effect on medicinal pumpkin plants. Seeds yield and the proportion of oil and fatty acids were estimated. The first factor included four agricultural systems (traditional P1, organic farming system P2, organic farming system P3, and organic farming system P4). The second factor was two sowings (D1 on March 10, 2019, and D2 on April 1
Pumpkin seed oil (PSO), a rich source of nutrients, is extracted from the seeds of different pumpkin varieties for food and medicines. This article aims to provide an evidence-based review of the literature and to explore the extraction technologies, nutritional properties, and biological activity of PSO.
Review on Pumkin Production and Nutritional Value in Ethiopia
Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima and Cucurbita moschata are the worldwide commonly grown species of pumpkin. It is a small to medium sized vegetable plant generally grown for its fruits and edible seeds (Lee et al 2003). The oldest evidence, pumpkin-related seeds dating between 7000 and 5500 BC, was found in Mexico.
Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) seed oil was extracted using petroleum ether and analyzed for fatty acid compositions and physicochemical parameters of the oil. The seeds were found to contain 43.6% (%w/w) oil. Linoleic (50.7%), oleic (18.8%), palmitic (17.9%) and stearic (12.4%) were found as the primary fatty acids in pumpkin seed oil.
Extraction of Essential Oils from Pumpkin Seeds: RSM Based
The most important genus of this family is Cucurbita. There are five species are grown worldwide as edible fruit including pumpkin. Pumpkin is one of the most nutritious fruits and has flavorful seeds. Pumpkins are usually orange, dark green, pale green, yellow, white and red. Pumpkins generally weigh from 4–8 kg.
The highest extraction yield was 30.7% under optimized conditions: 32,140 kPa, 68.1 • C, and 94.6 min; these three variables showed a synergistic effect in the extraction of pumpkin seed oil [98
Evaluation of percentage oil yield, energy requirement
Hemp seeds showed the highest oil yield followed by sesame and flax seeds as presented in Table 1. Cumin seeds produced the lowest oil yield, hence no residual oil yield. The residual oil yield values ranged from 5.45 ± 0.66 to 24.99 ± 0.04% where pumpkin seeds recorded more residual oil yield followed by flax and then sesame oilseeds.
this method has been widely used to extract oil from many fruits and plant seeds [18,19]. Some previous studies demonstrated the optimized condition of pumpkin seed oil to obtain high yield and effectively pharmacological activities [20,21]. Currently, people consume pumpkin seed oil in desserts or salad dressings, and it is
Review on Pumkin Production and Nutritional Value in Ethiopia
Pumpkin seeds are good sources of protein, fats, carbohydrates and minerals. It said to have contained 93% essential amino acids, 53% crude fat and 27% crude protein. The seed contains oil which is used for cooking. Pumpkin despite its enormous benefits, information on production, challenges and nutritive value was limited in Ethiopia.
Pumpkin seed oil is a by-product, abundant in nutrients and bioactive components that promote several health benefits. This study aimed to compare chemical compositions, antioxidant, and pharmacological activities of pumpkin seed oils extracted from Cucurbita moschata Duch. Ex Poir. (PSO1) and Cucurbita moschata (Japanese pumpkin) (PSO2) by aqueous enzymatic extraction. An enzyme mixture
