  • 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.‌
  • What is pumpkin seed oil?
  • It is dichromatic, viscous oil that has been documented for its strong antioxidant activity (Stevenson et al. 2007). Moreover, pumpkin seed oil (PSO) has the most remarkable health benefits (Nishimura et al. 2014), and thus it requires effective extraction techniques in order to guarantee a high-quality PSO.‌
  • Who is artisan oil mill?
  • The farmer and pressmaster, now joined together… The Artisan Oil Mill family was born. Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Walnut oil, Apricot Kernel Oil and of course our Pumpkin Seed Oil. The new oils we are working on is the Grape Seed Oil and Pecan Oil.‌
  • How is PSO extracted from pumpkin seeds?
  • PSO is generally extracted by expelling the oil from the seeds mechanically. Both hulled and hull-less pumpkin seeds could be used for oil production. The oil from the hull-less seeds is much easier to extract and more commonly processed.‌
  • What is the nutritional value of pumpkin seeds?
  • The nutritional value of pumpkin seeds is based on high protein content (25–51%) (Bombardelli and Morazzoni 1997) and high percentage of oil that ranging from 40% to 60.8% (Fokou et al. 2009; Achu et al. 2006). The variability in the oil content of pumpkin seed is due to its broad genetic diversity.‌
  • What is the main knowledge of Pumpkin Seed Oil (PSO)?
  • Policies and ethics This chapter summarizes the main knowledge of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) such as cultivation conditions, production technology, physicochemical properties, quality control parameters and effects on health. PSO is obtained from pumpkins belong to the Cucurbitaceae family,…
