Roasted pumpkin seed oil was found to contain higher levels In this study we investigate the oil content, fatty acid of R- and γ-tocopherol than roasted sunflower oil (82).

By contrast, Stevenson et al. indicated that the seed oil of 12 pumpkin cultivars (C. maxima Duchesne) cultivated in Iowa state (USA) contained large amounts of δ-tocopherol, followed by γ-

The tocopherol composition of pumpkin seed oil was determined using HPLC according to the NF EN ISO 9936 (2006). The sample was then analysed by an HPLC (Agilent

Due to the high levels of phenolic compounds and tocopherols, pumpkin seed oil is a valuable oil with useful oil characteristics and demonstrates a variety of biological activities, most notably

In this review, we have focused on summarizing scientific data that explore the potential of pumpkin seed oil as a functional food ingredient. We provide a comprehensive overview of pumpkin seed oil chemical composition,

The species effect on the chemical composition, the content of bioactive compounds and the antioxidant activity was studied. As a result, the analysis of pumpkin seed oil revealed a

The total tocopherol content ranges from 52.4 to 117.3 mg/100 g oil, which is high, compared to pumpkin seed oil, which ranges from 33 to 91 mg/100 g oil and grape seed oil reported to be

The goal of the current work was to assess the nutritional profile and phytochemical properties of cucurbit (Cucurbita maxima L.) seeds, seed oils and oil extraction

Abstract 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

DETERMINATION OF FATTY ACIDS COMPOSITION BY GC-MS AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF PUMPKIN (CUCURBITA MAXIMA) SEED OIL CULTIVATED IN ETHIOPIA

Apr 18, 2007Twelve pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita maxima D.), cultivated in Iowa, were studied for their seed oil content, fatty acid composition, and tocopherol content. Oil content ranged

The goal of the current work was to assess the nutritional profile and phytochemical properties of cucurbit (Cucurbita maxima L.) seeds, seed oils and oil extraction

BACKGROUND: Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seed oil is a common product in Slovenia, Hungary and Austria and is considered a preventive agent for various pathologies, particularly prostate

Pumpkin seeds may be tiny, but they are densely packed with useful nutrients and nutraceuticals such as amino acids, phytosterols, unsaturated fatty acids, phenolic

In addition, the analyses of tocopherol composition revealed that γ-tocopherol represented the main tocopherol isomer in all studied oils and the CP technique provided the highest content of
