Product Specification

Pumpkin Seed Oil

Pumpkin seed oil is obtained from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo. It is prepared by pressing roasted hulled pumpkin seeds. It has been produced and used in Styria's southern parts at least since the 18th century. The viscous oil is light to very dark green to dark red in colour depending on the thickness of the observed sample. The oil appears green in thin layer and red in thick layer. Pumpkin seed oil has an intense nutty taste and is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Browned oil has a bitter taste. It has been found useful in the treatment of benigan prostatic hyperplasia. Pumpkin seed oil is most commonly used to treat irritable bowel syndrome. It has also found to prevent atherosclerosis and regulate cholesterol levels. In German folk medicine, it has been a remedy for parasitic infestations of the intestinal tract such as tapeworm. It is composed of unsaturated fatty acids like myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, lioelic and linolenic acids.
