Production technology and characteristics of Styrian pumpkin seed oil
optimal conditions, with an average yield of 500–600 kg/ha. For the production of 1 L of Styrian pumpkin seed oil, an. average of 2.5 kg of pumpkin seeds are required, which cor-. responds to an
The cold pressed pumpkin seed oil belongs to the oleic-linoleic acid group oils including corn, sesame, sunflower, soya, and cottonseed oils (Baolu, 2014). The proximate fatty acid composition of the cold pressed pumpkin seed oil is summarized in Table 1. The main fatty acids of the oil are linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids.
Pumpkin seed oil components and biological activities
Tocopherols in pumpkin seed oil. Tocopherols are found in plant tissues and in oil seeds in the form of methyl tocols or benzopynarols. For tocopherols, the C16 side chain is saturated, whereas for tocotrienols, three trans double bonds are found in the C16 side chain. These two groups combined are known as tocochromanols (Christ, 2014).
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.
Production technology and characteristics of Styrian pumpkin seed oil
the production of pumpkin seed oil representing a current market value of more than 30 million Euros. In the year of 2006, approximately 20% of the oil was exported, with Ger-many being the main importing country followed by other European Union members and the USA. 3 Composition of Styrian pumpkin seed oil
Austria produces pumpkinseeds amounting to 16 million euros and about 2 million litres of pumpkin seed oil. 2.2 Extraction of the Oil. Pumpkinseed oil is obtained from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo L. by cold pressing or pressing by adding heat. The seeds may, but do not need to be peeled before they are pressed.
Pumpkin seed oil
Styrian oil – an export commodity of Austria and Slovenia – is made by pressing roasted, hull-less pumpkin seeds from a local variety of pumpkin, the "Styrian oil pumpkin" (Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo var. 'styriaca', [4] [5] also known as var. oleifera). High-temperature roasting improves the aromatic quality of pumpkin seed oil. [6]
The rest of the seed (left in the pressing cylinder…called Press Cake) is removed and sold to other companies for further oil extraction or as animal feed. Styrian Gold also buys it, has it milled fine and offers it as a unique, stand alone, 100% pure, plant based pumpkin seed protein powder.
The growing importance of local pumpkin seed oil production
In the 19th century, Fram already had three oil mills (iek 1978). The famed pumpkin seed oil mill in Slovenska Bistrica was established in 1904.1 Since oil production in these factories exceeded domestic needs, pumpkin seed oil was also exported to more distant Austrian provinces.

Results and Discussion. The results of nutritional analysis of seeds and seed cakes of pumpkin are presented in Table 1. As expected, raw seeds contained significantly higher amounts of fat compared to seed cakes (42.74 g/100 g dw vs. 7.62 g/100 g dw) obtained after the oil extraction process with a screwing press.
- 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,...
- 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.
- Is Styrian pumpkin seed oil a virgin oil?
- The well-known pumpkin seed oil, Styrian pumpkin seed oil, is classified as virgin oil due to its traditional production method. Unlike cold pressed pumpkin seed oil, virgin pumpkin seed oil is pressed from the roasted seeds ( Vujasinovic et al., 2010 ).
- How do you make pumpkin seed oil?
- In the production of pumpkin seed oil, ground pumpkin seeds are mixed with water and salt to form a dough which is then roasted at 110-150 C and pressed . ... ... Pumpkin seed oil is also well known for its distinctive colour, usually described as dark green with strong red fluorescence, which is due to its dichromatic character .
- 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 ).
- 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.
