Morphological, Thermal and Physicochemical Properties of Starches from Squash (Cucurbita maxima) and Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata)
The properties of starches isolated from two squash cultivars (Cucurbita maxima) were studied and compared with those of two pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita moschata) and one normal potato cultivar. The amylose content of pumpkin and squash starches ranged from 16.18% to 21.29%. The pumpkin and squash starches appeared as a mixture of spherical, polyhedral and dome shaped granules. The pumpkin and...
متن کاملDevelopment of Advanced Interspecific-bridge Lines among Cucurbita pepo, C. maxima, and C. moschata
Interspecific hybridization among the three most economically important cultivated species of Cucurbita spp., Cucurbita pepo, C. moschata, and C. maxima can be made but not readily. By means of various pollination measures, different mating systems, and varying selection methods, nine advanced interspecific-bridge lines were developed, in which the crossing barrier among the species and the mal...
متن کاملPumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) fruit extract improves physical fatigue and exercise performance in mice.
Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is a popular and nutritious vegetable consumed worldwide. The overall purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of C. moschata fruit extract (CME) on anti-fatigue and ergogenic functions following physiological challenges. Male ICR mice from four groups designated vehicle, CME-50, CME-100 and CME-250, respectively (n = 8 per group in each test) were orally a...
متن کاملComparative Study on the -Carotene, -Tocopherol and Pectin Values from Three Cultivars of Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima)
Pumpkins are very versatile in their uses for cooking. Most parts of the pumpkin are edible, including pulp and the fleshy shell (peel). Three pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita maxima D.) namely: Kafr El-Battikh-2 (KB), El-Zarka (EZ) and Faraskour (FK), cultivated in Assiut, Egypt were studied for their pectin, beta carotene and tocopherol contents.
