  • What is cold pressed pumpkin seed oil?
  • According to the Codex Alimentarius, cold pressed pumpkin seed oil is directly obtained from raw and dried seeds using a continuous screw press ( Codex Alimentarius, 1999 ). The outlet temperature of the oil should be kept below 50°C for the oil to be labeled as cold pressed pumpkin seed oil ( Vujasinovic et al., 2010 ).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Does cold pressed pumpkin seed oil contain fatty acids?
  • In summary, cold pressed pumpkin seed oils have lower acid and peroxide values than the maximum limits (4 mg KOH/g oil and 15 meq O 2 /kg oil, respectively) set by the Codex Alimentarius ( Codex Alimentarius, 1999 ). The formation of free fatty acids may be associated with the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols prior to pressing.
