Pumpkin Seed Oil: An Introduction

History of Pumpkin Seed Oil The history of pumpkin seed oil, commonly referred to as pepita oil, reaches out to the 17th century through the Austrian Styrian region. Historically, it was crafted for both medicinal and culinary uses within the region. The oil was highly valued because of its unique taste and superior health benefits that it found its way into almost every household in many regions of Europe. Several years later, manufacturing of pumpkin seed oil extended to other regions with greater demand because of its multi-function use and its nutrient values.

Physical and Chemical Properties:

The nutty flavor and the thick consistency make the oil a favorite in its culinary uses. The oil contains a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic and oleic acids, providing a big share of the health benefits. It also has large amounts of vitamin E, phytosterols, and other antioxidants.

Chemically, pumpkin seed oil is made up of:

Fatty acids Around 45-60% linoleic acid, 20-35% oleic acid, 10-20% palmitic and stearic acids.
