Abstract
Abstract:
Wastage of food is a big concern for the world. In summers, several fruits are
available like watermelon, muskmelon, etc. Muskmelons are fruits that are consumed all over the
world. Around 32 % of muskmelon is wasted; it includes 5 % seeds and 27 % peel of the total
weight. Seeds of muskmelons have great nutritional benefits. They have a very large number of
bioactive compounds like tocopherols, phospholipids, and sterols. Muskmelon seeds have
antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-Alzheimer, and diuretic
properties and can be used to treat or prevent many diseases. Therefore, muskmelon seeds can be
used as a functional food.
