“…The pulp also contains a significant number of vitamins, mg/100 g: B 3 -0. Pumpkin seeds contain about 20% of oil, which is used as an effective anthelmintic and diuretic for heart disease, kidney disease, hypertension, and cholecystitis (Ahmed et al, 2022). Pumpkin seeds contain 92% of dry matter, %: dry protein -41.85; crude lipids -45.35; crude fibre -1.95; ash -4.7; extractives -6.15; calcium -0.55; phosphorus -1.12 (Hussain et al, 2022).…”

“…Pumpkin seed oil is valued for its high content of fatty polyunsaturated acids, %: myristic -12.0; palmitic -15.9; stearic -8.7; oleic -41.0; linoleic -34.3; linolenic -traces. Such a complex of acids has antioxidant properties, stimulates fat metabolism in the human body, binds cholesterol into a form easily absorbed in the body, and prevents it from settling on the walls of blood vessels, thereby preventing the development of cardiovascular diseases ( Kulczynski & Gramza-Michałowska, 2019;Ahmed et al, 2022).

Consumers in Ukraine and around the world are increasingly interested in healthy lifestyles and functional foods with high biological value. For the production of such foods, it is important to select raw materials that meet a range of quality requirements. Pumpkin fruits have a high content of nutrients, vitamins, essential amino acids, and minerals that largely meet these requirements. The research aims to comprehensively evaluate pumpkin fruits of eight varieties of different types: large-fruited (Cucurbita maxima Duch) and butternut (Cucurbita moschata Duchex Poir), grown in the forest-steppe of Ukraine, to identify the most suitable for drying and production of functional foods. The experimental method was used following the research plan, the laboratory method was used to determine biochemical, biometric, and organoleptic quality indicators, and the statistical method was used to conduct dispersion and correlation analyses of the studied indicators. It has been established that when large-fruited pumpkin varieties are used for convective drying, 16.1-20.3% of dry products with a sugar content of 48.6-51.6% and 11-14 and 34.5-40.2% of nutmeg varieties, respectively, can be obtained. For the production of functional food products with a β-carotene content of 40-41 mg/100 g (in terms of dry matter), it is advisable to use the fruits of nutmeg varieties Gilea and Divo, and vitamin C at the level of 28 mg% – large-fruited varieties Slavuta and Polyovychka. The study revealed that with the increase in fruit weight, the content of dry matter (r=-0.68), sugars (r=-0.67) and the yield of finished products (r=-0.74) significantly decreases. A significant direct relationship between the content of dry matter and sugars (r=0.98), as well as the content of dry matter and the yield of finished products (r=0.94), was established. The materials of the article are of practical value for breeders, vegetable growers, and specialists of processing enterprises when choosing a type and variety of pumpkin for the production of functional foods

“…Evaluation of pumpkin seed oil and fatty acids present in it was done for traditionally grown pumpkins and organically grown pumpkins, and results explored highest percentage of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid in organically grown pumpkin. From these results it can be concluded that pumpkin is a medicinal plant and can be grown organically to obtain required bioactives in sufficient quantities ( Ahmed et al, 2022 ). Bioactive compounds, especially γ-aminobutyric acid in pumpkin seeds was enhanced by optimizing the germination parameters and ultrasonic assisted extraction, the economical and effective methods for optimal extraction yield of bioactives.…”

Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles by Mushrooms: A Crucial Dimension for Sustainable Soil Management

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Soil is the main component in the agroecosystem besides water, microbial communities, and cultivated plants. Several problems face soil, including soil pollution, erosion, salinization, and degradation on a global level. Many approaches have been applied to overcome these issues, such as phyto-, bio-, and nanoremediation through different soil management tools. Mushrooms can play a vital role in the soil through bio-nanoremediation, especially under the biological synthesis of nanoparticles, which could be used in the bioremediation process. This review focuses on the green synthesis of nanoparticles using mushrooms and the potential of bio-nanoremediation for polluted soils. The distinguished roles of mushrooms of soil improvement are considered a crucial dimension for sustainable soil management, which may include controlling soil erosion, improving soil aggregates, increasing soil organic matter content, enhancing the bioavailability of soil nutrients, and resorting to damaged and/or polluted soils. The field of bio-nanoremediation using mushrooms still requires further investigation, particularly regarding the sustainable management of soils.
