Bioactive compounds from L. fruits as potential nutraceutical food ingredients and juice processing using membrane technology.

The present study was designed to evaluate the nutritional composition of melon pulp Maazoun variety, in order to explore its potential attitude as a natural source of nutrients and bioactive molecules. The chemical characterization showed that the pulp was rich in moisture, carbohydrate, dietary fibers, and minerals, as well as carotenoids and phenolic compounds. The chromatographic analysis indicated that amentoflavone (16.

Phytochemical profile, nutraceutical potential and functional properties of Cucumis melo L. seeds.

Background: This study investigated the amino acids, phenolic compounds and volatile compounds in Maazoun melon seeds. The functional properties of melon seed flour, such as bulk density, swelling capacity, emulsifying capacity, and foaming capacity were also determined.

Results: The findings proved that the functional properties of melon seeds make them useful for incorporation into different food formulations to improve their functionality.

Characterization, phenolic compounds and functional properties of Cucumis melo L. peels.

The aim of this work is to investigate the phytochemical composition and functional properties of the melon peels, considered as a by-product. Melon peels (maazoun cultivar) are rich in nutritional ingredients such as carbohydrates (69.77%) and ash (3.
