Cucurbita Pepo Seed Extract

Cucurbita Pepo Seed Extract (CAS 89998-03-8), also known commercially as Cucurbita pepo ext., is a botanical extract derived from pumpkin seeds used across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical manufacturing.

It delivers a concentrated profile of phytosterols, tocopherols, and fatty acids that support antioxidant and stabilizing functions in finished formulations for various industrial applications.

In food and nutraceutical products, it functions as a natural flavoring agent and nutritive additive in functional beverages, dietary supplements, and seed-based ingredient blends for consumers.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into scalp treatments, hair serums, and skin-conditioning products where antioxidant activity supports formulation stability and ingredient performance in the final product.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare manufacturers use it as a botanical active in softgel capsules and standardized herbal preparations targeting nutritional supplementation and general wellness support.

It also appears in specialty food coatings and flavor systems where a mild, characteristic seed note is required. The extract is supplied as a dry powder or liquid extract for manufacturing.

Standardization levels vary by active marker compound. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most common commercial forms available from botanical extract suppliers globally.

Buyers should confirm standardization parameters, such as phytosterol or fatty acid content, against their formulation requirements before sourcing this ingredient for their specific production needs.
