• How to extract oil from pumpkin seeds of Kh (Kashi Harit)?
  • Pumpkin ( Cucurbita moschata Duch.) seeds of KH ( Kashi Harit) cultivar were chosen for oil extraction by three different methods cold press extraction (CPE), soxhlet extraction (SE) and mechanical shaking extraction (MSE) method. SE method showed highest oil yield (38.03%) followed by CPE (33.25%) and MSE (26.36%) methods.
  • Which method is used to extract pumpkin seed oil?
  • The values of fatty acid and TAG profile showed less significance in oil extracted by all the methods and squalene content was majorly found in the PSO extracted by CPE method. Extraction by CPE method is recommended to obtain pumpkin seed oil of good stability and posses improved nutraceutical and functional characteristics.
  • Which method has highest yield in pumpkin seed oil?
  • SE method showed highest oil yield (38.03%) followed by CPE (33.25%) and MSE (26.36%) methods. Peroxide and acid value were found to be least in the CPE pumpkin seed oil (PSO) whereas oil stability index was highest in this oil.
  • How to extract oleaginous seeds without solvent?
  • The oil extraction by mechanical pressing is the most common method for continuous treatment of oleaginous seeds without solvent. Different types of presses can be used depending on the purpose (expeller, expander, and twin-screw extruder) and on the capacity range (3 kg h ?1 to 150 t day ?1).

  • What is industrial pressing of oilseeds?
  • Industrial pressing of oilseeds is realized using continuous screw presses. The presses are fed with crude or pre-treated seeds. Types of pre-treatments (thermal pre-treatment, size reduction, mechanical sieving, etc.) differ for various seed species (Carr 1997). Each type of seed pre-treatment provides its own advantages.
