Pumpkin Seed Extract Protein: A Nutrient-Dense Plant Protein Source

Pumpkin seed extract is a powerhouse of nutrition, boasting approximately 50% fat and 30% to 40% protein in its natural state. After degreasing, the protein content can exceed 60%, making it an excellent source of plant-based protein rich in essential amino acids. Our Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder is certified by both the European Union and the United States, ensuring top quality. This fine powder ranges from white to greenish-white, with a protein content of at least 60%.

At GreenHerb Biological Technology Co., Ltd, we supply high-quality pumpkin seed extract with a protein content of over 60%. This product is ideal for dieters seeking low-calorie options, as substituting part of their protein intake with pumpkin seed protein helps reduce cholesterol and saturated fat while maintaining balanced nutrition.

We have ample stock available, and samples can be provided. We warmly welcome both new and returning customers to visit our factory for technical guidance and business negotiations!

Using features

  1. Hydration
    Pumpkin seed protein is rich in polar groups along its peptide chain, which enhances its ability to absorb and retain water. This unique property allows it to expand and contribute to hydration, making it an excellent ingredient for various formulations.

  2. Emulsification
    Acting as a natural surfactant, pumpkin seed protein effectively reduces the surface tension between water and oil, as well as between water and air. This property enables the formation of stable emulsions, making it an ideal emulsifier for baked goods, frozen foods, and soups, ensuring product stability and improved texture.

  3. Gelatinous Properties
    With high viscosity, plasticity, and elasticity, pumpkin seed protein serves as an effective carrier for water, flavor agents, sugars, and other complexes. This capability aids in maintaining the shape and stability of food products, making it particularly beneficial for food processing applications.

  4. Foaming Ability
    The foamability and bubble stability of pumpkin seed protein contribute to a light, airy texture in foods, enhancing their taste and mouthfeel. Good solubility is essential for optimal foamability, allowing for the creation of products with excellent foam stability.

Function

  • Improves Cardiovascular Health
    High plasma cholesterol levels are a significant contributor to heart disease, often resulting from the consumption of animal fats. Unlike animal protein, pumpkin seed protein is cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy alternative. Research, including findings from 1998 Nobel Prize winners in medicine, highlights that arginine—a key amino acid in pumpkin seed protein—promotes the synthesis of nitric oxide. This process helps dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, enhance blood flow to the heart and brain, and improve vascular elasticity, effectively reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

  • Boosts Immune Function
    Pumpkin seed protein enhances the production of immunoglobulins, significantly improving humoral immunity. It also promotes T lymphocyte proliferation, strengthening the cellular immune response. Additionally, it regulates immune function by facilitating the release of various endocrine hormones, including insulin, growth hormone, prolactin, antidiuretic hormone, and catecholamines.

  • Enhances Masculinity
    Pumpkin seed protein is known to improve sperm motility and quality, enhancing fertilization capacity and providing energy for sperm movement. Arginine in pumpkin seed protein plays a crucial role in sperm formation and acts as a foundational component of various nuclear proteins in sperm. It also contributes to vascular dilation through the nitric oxide pathway, similar to the mechanism of action found in medications like Viagra.

  • Promotes Muscle Synthesis
    Unlike many common plant proteins, pumpkin seed protein is rich in glutamate, which is essential for synthesizing glutamine in the body. Studies have shown that glutamine can increase muscle cell volume, stimulate muscle protein synthesis, and enhance muscle vitality. While whey protein is often used in muscle-building supplements, it is animal-derived and contains allergens, making pumpkin seed protein a safe, allergen-free alternative for vegetarians and those with allergies.

  • Antioxidant Properties
    Hydrolyzed pumpkin seed protein exhibits significant antioxidant effects, achieving a DPPH clearance rate of 83.47%. This property helps combat oxidative stress and contributes to overall health.

  • Regulates Blood Sugar Levels
    Pumpkin polysaccharides and protein components have shown promising results in managing diabetes. Research indicates that protein components with molecular weights greater than 60 kDa and less than 3 kDa can significantly improve insulin levels in diabetic rats. Notably, protein components with molecular weights between 3 kDa and 60 kDa demonstrated the most effective hypoglycemic properties, significantly reducing fasting blood glucose levels and enhancing glucose tolerance.

Application

  • Food Products
    Pumpkin seed protein powder can be added directly to flour, cornmeal, and other grains as a nutritional supplement to enhance the amino acid profile, especially to compensate for the deficiency of essential amino acids like lysine in cereal-based foods. It can also be used as an additive in baked goods to improve flavor and nutritional value.

  • Meat Products
    In high-quality meat products, adding pumpkin seed protein powder enhances both texture and flavor while increasing the protein content. It also provides a boost of vitamins, making meat products more nutritious.

  • Dairy Products
    As a nutrient-dense, cholesterol-free ingredient, pumpkin seed protein powder is a valuable addition to dairy products, enhancing their nutritional profile without adding any cholesterol.

  • Beverages
    Pumpkin seed powder can be used in beverages, often combined with ingredients like glutinous rice flour, japonica rice flour, and potato starch to create nutritious drinks that are rich in plant-based protein.

  • Health Supplements
    Due to its cardiovascular benefits, immune-boosting properties, antioxidant effects, and more, pumpkin seed protein is ideal for use in health supplements. It can be directly incorporated into formulations to enhance overall health and wellness.
