Popis: Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) seeds of KH (Kashi Harit) cultivar were chosen for oil extraction by three different methods cold press extraction (CPE), soxhlet extraction (SE) and mechanical shaking extraction (MSE) method. SE method showed highest oil yield (38.03%) followed by CPE (33.25%) and MSE (26.36%) methods. Peroxide and acid value were found to be least in the CPE pumpkin seed oil (PSO) whereas oil stability index was highest in this oil. PSO is a good source of essential fatty acids as it contains significant amount (p
