Selenium

Glossary

Selenium is an essential trace element required by the human body in small amounts. It is a component of various enzymes and proteins.

In the context of Styrian pumpkin seed oil: Selenium may be present in pumpkin seeds (depending on soil content). As a trace element, it remains in the protein-rich press cake fraction during pressing and does not pass into the edible oil to any significant extent. Nutritional claims regarding selenium therefore apply to seeds/press cake, not to the edible oil.
