This work aimed to develop a formulation of pumpkin seed paste and to evaluate its nutritional, sensory and textural properties. In the study, a delicious product was tried to be obtained with raw materials with high functional properties. Pumpkin Seed Cream was produced in four groups as roasted, roasted and cinnamon added, unroasted, unroasted and cinnamon added. The roasting process was carried out for 12 min. at 160°C. The effect of roasting pumpkin seeds and adding cinnamon to the formulation on cream samples produced within the scope of the study were investigated. Firmness, consistency, cohesiveness and spread ability properties were investigated of samples. It was determined that the roasting of pumpkin seeds used in the formulation created a statistically significant difference in the spreadability properties of the samples. As a result of the color analysis of the samples, the brightest and greener color intensity was detected in the unroasted group. The appearance, odor, texture and flavor profiles of samples were examined in sensory analysis. In terms of general taste, the unroasted and cinnamon-free group was most appreciated.
