Introduction Pumpkin seed
Pumpkin seed (Cucurbita pepo L.) is high in oil, protein,
and total unsaturated fatty acids (TUFA) and provides an
important source of nutrition and income globally. Use of
pumpkin seed in the snacking and vegetable oil industry in
the US is expected to rise as the market for healthy foods
increases. Pumpkin seed is a popular ingredient in snacks
sold in retail stores across the country, such as trail mixes
with various nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, and is also used
as an ingredient in breakfast cereal and bread (Baxter et
al. 2012; Loy 2004). In addition, pumpkin seed oil can be
purchased by the bottle for use in salads, or as formulated
capsules in health food stores (Stevenson et al. 2007). This
article will discuss the health benefits, production, processing and nutritional profile of pumpkin seed.
