Pumpkin seed extract products refer to various preparations derived from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin). These extracts contain a range of bioactive compounds, including vitamins, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and minerals. Pumpkin seed oil, a common form of extract, is rich in linoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and other polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. It is also a source of antioxidants such as carotenoids, tocopherols, and phytosterols, as well as the trace mineral zinc.

One of the key health benefits of pumpkin seed extracts is their high nutrient content. They are a good source of protein, containing all the essential amino acids needed for growth and repair of tissues in the body. Pumpkin seeds are also a great source of healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for heart health and brain function. Additionally, pumpkin seeds are rich in fiber, which can aid in digestion and help promote a feeling of fullness, making them a satisfying and nutritious snack option.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Pumpkin Seed Extract Products Market

The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has significant impact on the distribution, transportation, and manufacturing of pumpkin seed extract products. Production challenges in certain regions, particularly those experiencing lockdowns and travel restrictions, contributed to supply chain disruptions. The US government had implemented several trade-related measures in response to COVID-19. This has affected the trade of raw material, including pumpkin seed to produce pumpkin seed extract products. Preventive measures imposed by governments, such as emergency lockdowns and social distancing, forced many stores, including grocery stores, to temporarily close. This resulted in a huge decline in foot traffic, which significantly decreased sales and revenue.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significant impact on pumpkin seed extract products by enhancing various aspects of the industry. Recent developments in novel technologies and AI, such as precision fermentation, 3D extrusion, ultrasonic technology, and others, are being explored to improve plant protein functionality. Moreover, AI is being utilized to detect the moisture content and size of pumpkin seeds, that contributes to enhancing seed quality. These advancements highlight the positive influence of AI on the production and quality of pumpkin seed extract products.
