Enhancing nutritional value and quality of cookies through pumpkin peel and seed powder fortification.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRecently, the pumpkin by-products such as peels and seeds become more and more interesting for confectionary sector, because of the nutritional and bioactive composition. The study was conducted to develop cookies and noodles using different pumpkin by-products (such as peels and seeds) powders in different concentrations and to evaluate the changes in quality characteristics. The powders were prepared from pumpkin seeds and peels. METHODOLOGY: In this study, various concentrations of pumpkin peel powder (5%, 10%, and 20%) and seeds powder (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were mixed with commercially available wheat flour to produce cookies and noodles. Furthermore, the nutritional, antioxidant, functional and sensory properties of the developed cookies and noodles were evaluated.
resultPumpkin peels and seeds powder and their respective products enrich significantly in protein, fiber, beta-carotene, antioxidants such as total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH scavenging activity), Ferric reducing ability (FRAP Ferric reducing power assay), ash content and hunter color values. However, pumpkin seed powder had higher protein content (33.25%) than other powders but pumpkin peel powder (16.83%±1.74) had better fiber content than seeds powder. The highest amount of fiber content was found in 10% pumpkin peel cookies. The analysis of the composition of pumpkin peels and seeds powder has been done in order to further promote their functionality in bakery products based, especially, on wheat flour.
conclusionThe best quality and overall acceptable product were obtained when samples were 10% pumpkin peel powder, 15% pumpkin seed powder, and, 10% pumpkin peel powder noodles.
