All the products supplemented with 30% pumpkin seed were most acceptable except cake which was highly accepted at 20% level of supplementation. The moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, iron, zinc content of raw pumpkin seed flour was 6.98 and 2.80%, 22.05 and 23.45%, 30.80 and 31.90%, 7.68 and 7.56%, 8.92 and 8.04%, 8.16 and 7.08mg/100gm, 6.60 and 6.35mg/100gm respectively. Total carotenoid content, antioxidant activity, peroxide value of pumpkin seed flour was found as 0.75 and 0.42mg/100gm, 68.80 and 61.30%, 4.60 and 6.20meq/kg. The protein, fat, fiber, ash and energy content of all the supplemented products were significantly higher as compared to the control samples.
Seeking information using an effective system is essential nowadays. Manual system is no longer applicable in this new era. Therefore, using automated system in searching information is needed. The head of faculties as well as students associations’ advisors had often received complaints from students regarding to the difficulties in obtaining information on available companies for academic visits and speaker for academic talks.
