Nutritional Variation on Sequentially Harvested Shoots and Fruits of Landraces.

(Molina) Standley, a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is valued for its medicinal and nutritive properties. The nutrient status of sequentially harvested shoots and fruits at various growth stages in has not been documented to date. This study aimed to compare the nutritional status of landrace shoots and fruits harvested at different maturity stages.

Phytochemical composition of fruits from KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo, South Africa.

(Molina) Standley is a food and medicinal source with anti-proliferative, anti-fertility, anti-HIV and anti-cancerous properties. The current study investigated the phytochemical constituents of L. fruits using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
