Lipids from pumpkin seeds, has been widely used in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia attributed due to its high content in unsaturated fatty acids like linoleic, oleic, palmitic and estearic as the main active principles. This study deals with the optimization of microwave assisted extraction (MAE) of lipids from Cucurbita pepo L. seeds. To evaluate the effect of three independent variables, etanol to plant material ratio, microwave power used for extraction and Irradiation time, Box–Behnke...
