Oil extraction from structured bed of pumpkin seeds
Reports on pumpkin seed oil extraction using pressurized propane could not be found in the literature, however, in studies using pressurized extraction with carbon dioxide oil yields of 21.47% and 50% were obtained by Wang et al
Oil extraction from structured bed of pumpkin seeds and peel using
The behavior of the oil extraction from the structured bed (seeds/peel) is typical of two distinct periods: the first with a higher extraction rate and the second with a lower extraction rate. For the extraction of the oil from the seeds, only the first period of extraction was observed during the time evaluated (30 min), since the oil is more readily available compared to that in the
Pumpkin ( Cucurbita pepo L.) Seed Oil Springer
Moreover, pumpkin seed oil (PSO) has the most remarkable health benefits (Nishimura et al. 2014), and thus it requires effective extraction techniques
Pumpkin ( Cucurbita pepo L.) Seed Oil - Springer
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. PSO has the dark greenish color as well as very typical strong nutty and roasty flavor.
Modelling and Optimization of Processing Factors
The unrefined pumpkin oil is of high quality for its taste, aroma, and color, which are the characteristics defining the use of pumpkin oil for salads and cold dishes [6]. Recently,
Recent industrials extraction of plants seeds oil used in the
This study aimed to assess the oil fatty acid composition and total tocopherol content. GC, GC/FID, and HPLC were used to analyze the fatty acid composition and concentration of total tocopherols. Compared to hexane/isopropanol extraction (8.3 2.7%), pumpkin seed oil obtained using Sc-CO2 extraction had a maximum yield of 24.3 0.4%.
Oil extraction from structured bed of pumpkin seeds and peel
Thus, it is of interest to combine the compounds present in high concentrations in the peel with the seed oil, in order to enhance the final oil quality.
Oil from pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seeds: evaluation of its
The results showed an excellent quality of pumpkin oil with high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (Linoleic acid: 50.88 卤 0.106 g/100 g of total fatty acids), tocopherols (280 ppm) and sterols (2086.5 卤 19.092 ppm). High content of these bioactive components were in agreement with an efficient wound healing by the mean of an in vivo study.
Optimizing the Transesterification Efficiency of Pumpkin Seed
Biodiesel production from Cucurbita pepo L. was explored in the present investigation. Bio-oil extraction from pumpkin seed was achieved using Soxhlet
Modelling and Optimization of Processing Factors of Pumpkin Seeds Oil
The optimum factors combination: 200 kN, 4 mm/min and 80 C predicted the oil yield of 20.48%, oil expression efficiency of 60.90%, and energy of 848.04 J. The relaxation time of 12 min at the optimum factors increased the oil efficiency to 64.53%. The lower oil point force was determined to be 57.32 kN for estimating the maximum oil output.
