The nutritional composition of pumpkin seed protein has a protein content of more than 40% and contains 17 kinds of amino acids, including special pumpkin seed amino acids. In terms of amino acid composition, it contains 8 essential amino acids and histidine, which is essential for children, and the content exceeds the standards set by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and WHO (World Health Organization), and the ratio of essential amino acids is similar to the composition pattern of amino acids required by the human body.

Pumpkin seed protein has a variety of physiological activities. Research has found that pumpkin seed protein not only has the effect of hypoglycemia and antioxidant but also has the effect of inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and inducing differentiation for many kinds of tumor cells. The safety of pumpkin seed cake meal cottonseed meal of cotton phenol, canola meal of those derivatives, phytic acid, etc. is harmful or toxic substances. Not by the detoxification of cotton meal, rapeseed meal, human and animal can not be used. Cake meal detoxification, and is a complex process, a costly project, thus limiting the comprehensive use of cottonseed meal, rapeseed meal, etc.
At present, most of the pumpkin seed cake meats are only by oil processing enterprises as a by-product of processing - feed and sold at low prices, resulting in a great waste of high-quality pumpkin seed protein resources. How to make full use of the protein resources of pumpkin seed cake meals, improve the added value of by-products, increase economic benefits, then become the main problem to solve the comprehensive utilization of pumpkin seed cake meal resources. Combined with the utilization of soybean meal protein, rice bran meal, and other by-products after oil extraction in recent years, pumpkin seed cake meal can be developed in the following aspects.
The development of pumpkin seed protein products is to extract the low-temperature pumpkin seed meal as raw material, separated and extracted a full-valued plant protein. The products can be divided into 3 types according to different protein content as follows. Pumpkin seed protein powder, including defatted pumpkin seed powder, low-fat pumpkin seed powder, etc., with a protein content of about 50%. The processing of this product is simple, only the unshelled pumpkin seed meal needs to be fully crushed, sterilized, and packed. The product can be added directly to finished grains such as flour and corn flour to make up for the lack of amino acids (especially lysine) in cereals. Concentrated pumpkin seed protein. Pumpkin seed isolates protein. With protein content above 90%, similar soybean isolate protein has been widely used in fish products, meat products, pasta products, dairy products, cold food products, sugar products, and beverages to improve the nutritional composition and taste of food products, increase the yield of finished products, reduce costs, extend shelf life and increase protein content. Pumpkin seed isolate protein is a new resource, its effect compared with the now commonly used soybean isolate protein, is still an unknown area, and need a lot of scientific research work to support the demonstration.
These are some of the things we have learned about the current pumpkin seed protein industry. We have introduced some of the current products from the feasibility of pumpkin seed protein product development, and hope to be of help to you.
