Abstract

Introduction: The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) seeds are valued for their nutritional and medicinal benefits. Sunflower seeds are renowned for their high oil content, while pumpkin seeds, often considered agricultural byproducts, are rich in nutrients and nutraceutical properties. Both seeds contain essential compounds such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and vitamins, offering diverse health benefits including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties.
