In the study performed, the contents of dietary fibre (DF) and its fractions were compared in four varieties of Cucurbita maxima and Cucurbita pepo pumpkin. It was proved that the pumpkin varieties examined significantly differed from each other in the content of DF and its fractions. The Ambar pumpkin variety showed the highest content of natural dietary fibre (NDF) and acidic dietary fibre (ADF) in fresh mass (7.481g/100g and 1.463g/100g, respectively). The Pyza pumpkin variety was characterized by the lowest content of the two fractions (0.232g/100g and 0.223g/100g, respectively). The investigations performed show that the fruit of the majority of pumpkin varieties of C. maxima species contained significantly higher amounts of starch, pectins, NDF, and hemicelluloses compared to the fruit of the pumpkin varieties of C. pepo pumpkin species
