    abstract = {Column chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography were used in the evaluation and characterization of oil extracts from different parts of fluted pumpkin seeds. The results show phospholipids (40-58%), glycolipids (26-36%), free fatty acids (1-6%), free sterols (1-2%), neutral lipids (10-24%) and steryl esters (0.8-4%). The fatty acid profiles showed more than 60% instauration comprising mainly C<SUB>18</SUB> fatty acids. The seed coat oil showed more than 70% saturated. Fatty acids, contributed mainly by C<SUB>16</SUB> and C<SUB>18</SUB> fatty acid. The oil extracts in all the sample showed traces of C<SUB>18</SUB>: 3 fatty acids.}
