Comparison of quality and oxidative stability of pumpkin seed (Cucurbita maxima) oil between conventional and enzymatic extraction methods

“…17,21,22 In addition, the quest for producing high quality products through green and sustainable technology is a key to moving towards sustainability. 23 Although oil yield is a challenge in AEE, Prommaban et al 24 extracted pumpkin seed oil using AEE and showed that the oil performed well in antioxidant activities and anti-aging activities and could be applied in cosmetics. Besides that, during the processing and storage of oil, lipid oxidation can adversely affect sensory taste and the content of nutritional compounds and ultimately lead to quality deterioration, and thus, the oxidative stability of oil is an important index to reect oil quality.…”
