Due to the lack of information on the mechanical properties of pumpkin seeds and the need to develop equipment that can be used more efficiently for its processing, the objective of this project was to study the mechanical properties of commercial pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita moschata) from the commercial cultivars ‘Rajada Seca Melhorada’ and ‘Jacarezinho’ with moisture content ranging from 0.670 to 0.094 decimal dry basis (db) and 0.923 to 0.033 decimal (db), respectively, were used. The determination of the compressive strength of the seeds was carried out by means of uniaxial compression tests. The seeds were compressed in their natural resting position, at a constant speed (force application rate) of 0.0001 m s-1. The average...
