The potential of pumpkin seed oil as a functional food - a comprehensive review of chemical composition, health benefits and safety
The growing interest in foods that can be beneficial to human health is bringing into focus some products that have been used locally for centuries but have recently gained worldwide attention. One of these foods is pumpkin seed oil, which has been used in culinary and traditional medicine, but recent data also show its use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In addition, some sources refer to it as a potential functional food, mainly because it is obtained from pumpkin seeds, which contain many functional components. However, the production process of the oil may affect the content of these components and consequently the biological activity of the oil. In this review, we have focused on summarizing scientific data that support explore the idea that potential of pumpkin seed oil is as a functional food ingredient. We provide a comprehensive overview of pumpkin seed oil chemical composition, phytochemical content, biological activity and safety, as well as the overview of production processes and contemporary use. the production processes, the contemporary use of a pumpkin seed oil, as well as its chemical composition, phytochemical content, biological activity and safety. The main phytochemicals in pumpkin seed oil with health-related properties are polyphenols, phytoestrogens, and fatty acids, but carotenoids, squalene, tocopherols and minerals may also contribute to health benefits. Most of studies have been conducted in vitro and support the claim that pumpkin seed oil has antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Clinical studies have shown that pumpkin seed oil may be beneficial in the treatment of cardiovascular health problems of menopausal women and ailments associated with imbalance of sex hormones.
