Comparative Study on the -Carotene, -Tocopherol and Pectin Values from Three Cultivars of Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima)
Pumpkins are very versatile in their uses for cooking. Most parts of the pumpkin are edible, including pulp and the fleshy shell (peel). Three pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita maxima D.) namely: Kafr El-Battikh-2 (KB), El-Zarka (EZ) and Faraskour (FK), cultivated in Assiut, Egypt were studied for their pectin, beta carotene and tocopherol contents. The pectin content was determined spectrophotometr...
متن کاملAntidepressive Activity of Processed Pumpkin (cucurbita Maxima) Seeds on Rats
The aim of the present study was to determine the anti depressive activity of raw, autoclaved, boiled, germinated and roasted pumpkin seeds powder extract compared with the standard drug: Imipriamine (30 mg/kg) in normal and depressed control rats. Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (100 mg/kg) was used as the depression inducer in rats. The result shows that there was a significant (P < 0.01) decrease in ...
متن کاملMorphological, Thermal and Physicochemical Properties of Starches from Squash (Cucurbita maxima) and Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata)
The properties of starches isolated from two squash cultivars (Cucurbita maxima) were studied and compared with those of two pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita moschata) and one normal potato cultivar. The amylose content of pumpkin and squash starches ranged from 16.18% to 21.29%. The pumpkin and squash starches appeared as a mixture of spherical, polyhedral and dome shaped granules. The pumpkin and...
متن کاملThree new multiflorane-type triterpenes from pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) seeds.
Three new multiflorane-type triterpenes; 7a-methoxymultiflor-8-ene-3a,29-diol 3-acetate-29-benzoate (1), 7-oxomultiflor-8-ene-3a,29-diol 3-acetate-29-benzoate (2), and multiflora-7,9(11)-diene-3a,29-diol 3-p-hydroxybenzoate-29-benzoate (3), were isolated from seeds of Cucurbita maxima, along with three known compounds. Compound 3 and multiflora-7,9(11)-diene-3a-29-diol 3-benzoate (5) exhibited ...
