  • 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.
  • What extraction methods are used to extract pumpkin seed Oil (PSO)?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. This study investigated the effects of three extraction methods, including cold pressing (CP), microwave pretreatment pressing (MP), and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), on the yield, physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds content, and antioxidant properties of pumpkin seed oil (PSO).
  • 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.
  • How is pumpkin seed powder extracted?
  • Pumpkin seed powder of particle size 1 mm was taken in a conical flask and mixed with solvent (n-hexane) in the ratio of 1:4 (w/v). The flask was kept in the orbital shaker (Orbitek, Scigenics Biotech, India) maintained at 25 °C for about 6 h at 3.2 × g for oil extraction.
  • What are the bioactive compounds in pumpkin seed oil?
  • Contents of bioactive compounds in pumpkin seed oils: (A) polyphenol, (B) squalene, (C) tocopherol, (D) phytosterol. Within each extraction method, different letters denote statistically significant differences for p < 0.05. 3.4. Antioxidant Properties of PSOs
  • Does pumpkin seed oil have antioxidant stability?
  • Correlation analysis of pumpkin seed oil bioactive compounds with antioxidant stability. 4. Conclusions In conclusion, vegetable oil extraction strategies such as CP, MP, and SFE can be effectively employed for PSO extraction.
