Pumpkin, also known as pumpkin, rice gourd, and nest gourd. With the in-depth research on the pumpkin, pumpkin has been given a new meaning in the dietary structure - it is not only a popular dish, but also recognized as a health food in the 21st century and has become a unique species in the vegetable family. Pumpkin seed protein is one of the hot spots in the pumpkin development boom.

l Problems to be solved
Research has shown that pumpkin seed protein contains an active biocatalytic ingredient known as testosterone. It has been shown to reduce the initial swelling of the prostate gland and to have a therapeutic and preventive effect on the urinary tract and prostate enlargement. Its polyunsaturated fatty acids and physiologically active substances are effective in preventing eczema and have an anti-allergic effect. As a new type of healthy protein, pumpkin seed protein has been recognized as one of the first products recommended by the China Aged Care Association and has been well received. As pumpkin seed protein production continues to increase, the comprehensive use of pumpkin seed cake meal, a by-product of pumpkin seed oil processing, also needs to be addressed. From the existing research, the available resources in the cake meal after oil extraction include residual fat, phospholipids, protein in the cake meal, cotton phenol, and phytic acid. Protein is the main component of pumpkin seed cake meal, and is also the most researched and relatively mature type of material in cake meal resources, and is the focus of the development of comprehensive utilization of pumpkin seed cake meal.
Research reports on pumpkin seeds show that pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, mineral elements, and other nutrients required by the human body, and have good health care functions, so pumpkin seeds can be used as the main ingredient or auxiliary material to develop a wide range of nutritional health products, disease prevention health products. The growing interest in pumpkin seeds and their products is of great importance in improving the dietary structure of people. Pumpkin seeds are rich in oil (35% to 50%) and as a by-product of pumpkin they are abundant, cheap, and easy to obtain, and most pumpkin seeds are discarded and only a very small percentage are actually used for processing and production, so there is great potential for developing new edible oil substances using pumpkin seed production. We can also develop pumpkin seed protein, which can be fully utilized from pumpkin seeds. At the same time, pumpkin seed protein has a very good nutritional value.
As an emerging protein, pumpkin seed protein is a highly exploitable protein with a fragrant texture, rich in nutrients, and pure in taste. With the gradual increase in pumpkin cultivation in recent years and the abundance of raw material sources, the eventual commercial production of pumpkin seed protein is a requirement for market development. However, further research on pumpkin seeds needs to be continued, such as the screening problem for pumpkin seed planting resources, the process of separating and purifying pumpkin protein, and the easy oxidative decay of unsaturated fatty acids during the processing of oil, which is all urgent problems to be solved.
These are some of our observations on the development of pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed protein.
