    Pumpkin has a high nutritional value of protein ,fiber, carbohydrates and antioxidants. So the present study aims to investigate the chemical,mineral, β carotene and vitamin E contents ,likewise ,physical and sensory properties of wheat biscuits and biscuits fortified with (10%,20%) peel and pulp of pumpkin. The results revealed that the gross chemical composition of biscuits fortified with  20% peel of pumpkin powder was recorded a high ratio in protein 10.47 %;but Wheat flour biscuit was recorded the lowest value in protein 9,02 %and crude fiber 0,21% ; while, biscuits fortified with 10%  pulp had the lowest value of crude fat 13.45%on dry weight basis. Results also indicated a more significant difference in mineral content between biscuits fortified with peel and pulp of pumpkin. In addition biscuits  with  20% peel was  recorded  the highest values in  Ca ,Fe, Mg (285.33) mg/100g .The highest ꞵ-Carotene in biscuits fortified with 20% pulp pumpkin was recorded 1,20 mg/100g, al
